Claims
- 1. A combustion chamber cleaning fluid distributor comprising:
a body defining a cavity therein for receiving the cleaning fluid; at least one conduit suspended from said body having first and second ends wherein the first end is fluidly connected to a lower portion of the cavity and the second end is fluidly connectable to at least one combustion chamber on an engine.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one conduit is valved.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the cavity has an opening at an upper portion of the body.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the opening at the upper portion of the body is optionally closed by a cap.
- 5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the cap has a pressurized air intake for pressurizing the cavity.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the second end of said at least one conduit is fluidly connectable to an adapter, the adapter being fluidly connectable to said at least one combustion chamber on said engine.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said at least one adapter is fluidly connectable to said at least one combustion chamber via an internal passageway.
- 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the internal passageway is metered to control the rate of flow of cleaner back into the body.
- 9. The apparatus of claim one further comprising:
at least one additional conduit suspended from said body having first and second ends wherein the first end of said at least one additional conduit is fluidly connected to a lower portion of the cavity and the second end of said at least one additional conduit is fluidly connectable to a separate combustion chamber on said engine other than said at least one combustion chamber.
- 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein both said at least one conduit and at least one additional conduit are suspended from said body.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the cavity has a plurality of sub-cavities, at least one of said sub-cavities being fluidly connected to said at least one conduit, and at least one other of said plurality of sub-cavities being fluidly connected to said at least one additional conduit.
- 12. A method of decarboning a combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine using cleaning fluid comprising:
providing and holding cleaning fluid in a container; fluidly connecting the container with one or more combustion chambers on the engine; and introducing cleaning fluid into the combustion chamber through a conduit suspended from the container to clean the combustion chamber.
- 13. A method of decarboning a combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine, a lower boundry of said combustion chamber being defined by a head of a piston, comprising:
providing and holding a cleaner in a container; fluidly connecting the container with one or more combustion chambers on the engine; fluidly connecting a conduit to said container; and introducing said cleaner into the combustion chamber through said conduit to substantially immerse the chamber in cleaner.
- 14. The method of claim 13 including the additional step of:
activating the piston to work the cleaner into contaminants on the piston and in the combustion chamber.
