Q: Can Clenzoil “Machine & Tool,” be used to clean diesel marine engines fuel injectors?

    Tugboat Senior Engineer

A: Not only will Clenzoil “Machine & Tool,” clean the fuel injectors of diesel marine engines....it will actually help to keep them cleaner longer. We suggest that you soak the injectors in the Clenzoil, then brush them with a wire brush dipped in Clenzoil. Then rinse them clean in Clenzoil and lightly wipe off excess Clenzoil before reinstalling them.

Q: Can Clenzoil be used on chrome plated products without harming the finish?

    D&G Plating, Inc.

A: Absolutely. Clenzoil is used in the plating industry on chrome on an ongoing basis. In fact, many companies coat their chrome plated products with Clenzoil before they ship those products over seas to protect the chrome finish from pitting or rusting during exposure to the harsh salt air environment.

Q: What is the temperature operation range of Clenzoil?

    Dihatsu Industries

A: Clenzoil will remain fluid and effective in an extremely wide temperature range. Specifically from approximately -130F to over +140F. Clenzoil does not contain Teflon or Silicone, so it will not become “snotty” or gummy in extremely cold temperatures.

The diesel marine industry has long known that Clenzoil Machine & Tool is a multi-purpose oil. It is used to clean diesel engine fuel injectors as well as the tools that work on those mammoth marine motors.

It is used in the extreme environment encountered by today’s blue water fleets to do everything from lubricate the hinges on water tight hatches, to clearing the gears and spools that raise anchor of grime and corrosion. On the cramped spaces of a ship at sea, the ability of one product that can do many things, is not taken lightly....and if that product can stop rust in its tracks...so much the better.
