Automated combustion chamber decarboning squid
A device for and method of decarboning a combustion chamber and compression rings in an internal combustion engine. The device is a squid shaped container with a cylindrical body, a screw cap, and conduits depending from the body for transmitting cleaner to the combustion chambers on the engine. Once cleaner is transmitted to the combustion chambers, the engine is bumped to work the fluid into the compression rings using an automated system with a timer. When the engine is bumped, the device allows the cleaner to be vented to the device to avoid hydrolocking the engine. The device also contains the cleaner so that it is not splashed outside the engine.
1. An apparatus for cleaning at least one combustion chamber on a vehicle using a cleaner, said vehicle also having a battery and a starter, comprising:
a power source electrically connected to a timer;
said timer electrically connected to said starter;
said timer intermittently activating the starter using power from said power source;
a body defining a cavity therein for receiving the cleaner; and
at least one conduit 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 said at least one combustion chamber.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one conduit is valved.
3. 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.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said at least one adapter is fluidly connectable to said at least one combustion chamber via an internal passageway.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the internal passageway is metered to control the rate of flow of cleaner back into the body.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said power source is the battery of the vehicle.
7. The appartus of claim 6 wherein the cleaner is a cleaning fluid, the combustion chamber of the vehicle having disposed therein the cleaning fluid.
8. A method of intermittently activating the engine of a vehicle, said vehicle including a battery, a starter, and a combustion chamber, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a power source;
providing a timer;
electrically connecting said power source to said timer;
electrically connecting said timer to said starter;
using said timer to intermittently activate said starter using power from said power source; and
introducing cleaner to the combustion chamber before intermittently activating
said starter.
9. A method cleaning the combustion chamber of an engine on a vehicle, said vehicle also including a battery and a starter, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a power source;
providing a timer;
electrically connecting said power source to said timer;
electrically connecting said timer to said starter; and
providing a body defining a cavity therein;
fluidly connecting a first end of a conduit to a lower portion of the cavity and fluidly connecting a second end of said conduit to said combustion chamber;
delivering an amount of cleaner from said cavity of said body to said combustion chamber through said conduit; and
using said timer to intermittently activate said starter.
