Carbon deposits, also known as carbon buildup, are a common problem in modern vehicles. These deposits form on various parts of the engine, including the intake valves, combustion chamber, and pistons. Carbon buildup can have a number of negative effects on a vehicle's performance, including reduced fuel efficiency, decreased power, and increased emissions. In this blog post, we will explore what carbon deposits are, how they form, and how to get rid of them. Carbon deposits are created when fuel is not completely burned in the combustion chamber. The unburned fuel then sticks to the engine's internal parts, creating a build-up of carbon. This can happen for a number of reasons, including a poorly functioning fuel injector, a clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning oxygen sensor. The build-up of carbon deposits can cause a number of problems for your vehicle. For example, if the deposits form on the intake valves, they can restrict airflow and decrease power.
