US 6,673,758 B2 · Decarbonization/conditioning formulation for internal combustion engines and method therefore

Abstract

A decarbonization formulation for removing carbon deposits and the like, and method of application therefore. The preferred embodiment of the present invention teaches a method for removing carbon deposits from an internal combustion engine and composition therefore wherein there is utilized a solution comprising water and glycol ether based brake fluid in about a 50/50 ratio. The preferred brake fluid utilized in the present invention is H-121 Premium Plus Brake Fluid by Cooper Industries, Wagner Brake Division of St. Louis, Mo. The solution is chilled to about 40-50 degrees and about one pint is added in liquid form to the air intake with the engine running at about 2000 rpms over a period of about one minute. The concentration, temperature of the fluid, and rate of application can vary depending upon the size and type of engine. It is theorized that the brake fluid, diluted with water, forms a decarbonizing agent, and the chilled fluid further creates a temperature differential which facilitates removal of scale carbonization on the metal components contacted by the solution.

Dependent claims

The method of cleaning the internal parts of an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of:

I. preparing a formulation comprising 40-60% water and 40-60% brake fluid;
ii. cooling said formulation to a temperature of between 35-50 degrees Fahrenheit;
iii. operating the engine until it reaches operating temperature;
iv. throttling the engine to effect rapid operation of the engine;
while
v. introducing the formulation to the air intake of the engine so as not to stall the engine;
vi. allowing the chilled formulation to dissolve and remove contaminants from the engine, providing dislodged contaminants;
vii. allowing the heated engine to evaporate said water, forming water vapor, while allowing said heated engine to engage said brake fluid, forming smoke;
viii. allowing said engine to purge said dislodged contaminants, water vapor, and smoke through the exhaust system.
