Excessive hydrocarbon emissions at 300 ppm, excessive blue smoke and
misfire. Suspect fault due to sticking valves and oil burning.
The fault
was cured by using Forté Clean & Protect, extended Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush carried out adding Forté Oil System Protector to the new oil and
Forté Advanced Formula Gas Treatment to the fuel tank. The vehicle was then
given a 20 mile road test, the misfire and smoking had stopped and the
emissions were rechecked showing the hydrocarbons at 20 ppm. The owner
also reported a week later that the vehicle had never driven so well.
Thanks to Tony at A B Bickers LCG in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
Forté's Technical Helpline receives over 300 calls per month. This blog shares solutions for garage workshops on common driveability concerns that can be quickly and effectively treated. The vast majority of those identified are caused by fuel and oil borne contamination formed by natural degradation or via the combustion process. This is a fact of life for internal combustion engines where fossil fuels and oils are used.
