So I will remove, clean and possibly rebuild the fuel injectors on my 14B. It is running well and just replaced the fuel Filter unit and fuel lines. Which cleaning fluid would be best to use for the internal injector parts once disassembled?

I am wondering how old or how many miles you have on the pump? We haven't seen this yet
1990 1HDT 260k km
Drip stated on tank with Extreme in it. Stopped dripping next tank.
Wierd. I’ve never had this issue with hotshots extreme. I also use there EDT winter defense as it’s a lubricant and it conditions seals. But the cleaner is strong stuff. Wondering if your dosage is too much to too little.
Just rolled over 300K km. Pump has been rebuilt and sealed 100k km ago.
Same year
Same year, same mileage as mine, what are the odds in that? Interesting.
Its expensive stuff, and l ran the recommended dosage. Was sure glad drip quit! It happened twice with the HotShots Diesel Extreme: once in winter and once in summer. Same deal: IP dripped for that tank; quit on the next.
Rebuilt IP and injectors is on the list, but not quite logistically ready. Rubber is old in there...
Right now l an running Opti-Lube XtremeLubrication/Summer Lube+cetane 50/50 mix per tank. Reasonable price bought in bulk.
lots of 12v VE-pump cummings guys run hot shots. this is the first I have ever heard of issues of a leaking pump due to hotshots... our ve pump being similar should not have any problems.
if your rebuilding your pump make sure you use Viton seals. they last a lot longer than regular rubber
