Like humans, machines innards must be always healthy and clean. That's why the air filter is so important. When the device filters the air to fuel quality is not functioning properly, the incoming air with the fuel into the engine room is sometimes mixed with dust and disrupt the performance of the machine. The simplest cause engine 'coughed'.
For that, we should always be careful in choosing the air filter on the market. Indeed, maintenance is relatively easy, just remove the filter from the nest, then spray compressor. Only, if not treated properly, may not be very long service life.
Various brands of air filter is very abundant in the market today. Of which are made of cardboard and a standard vehicle spare parts. Listening to various types of air filters on the market, surely take care of different ways. Because of this, look at the trick to keep the filter clean and well maintained.
To filter made of cardboard, at best, just the remaining life of approximately 2500 km to 5000 km. The rest, should be replaced immediately. Because of the weakness of this filter, in particular the lifetime, the surface of the cardboard into 'hairy'. If this is allowed, soft flakes mixed with the dust that can come into the 'kitchen spur' alias combustion chamber. Side effects, the cylindrical surface will be scratched.
Caring cardboard filter, is relatively easy. Lift the filter from the nest, then clean with an air compressor. If necessary, use the edge of the filter handle of a screwdriver to knock the dust of the inherent loss of all.
Unlike the filter is made of sponge. Generally able to hold up to 15,000 miles or one year life. As light as this one, take care of him too easily. Dip a sponge into the water filter, and wash detergent use. Once completely clean, dry with aerated or dried in the sun but do not let the sun hit it directly. After drying, the filter ready to be installed again.
To filter made from cotton fibers, a different story. This one, rather treatment is expensive, due to be cleared to use a special fluid. For K & N for example, there is a solution of cleaner itself. Cleaning consists of a special soap and oil is, its use is rather special.
Once the filter is removed from his house, then the air filter devices pull until all the dust and dirt falling all. However, when the 'knock' the air filter, try using a soft ground, such as tires for example.
The next stage of the filter is flush with running water and then sprayed with a special soap solution. After settling for about 5 minutes, the filter is then flushed again with water. The process is repeated until the remaining washing water looks clear.
Before the application of the oil is done, the filter must be dried. There are two recommended ways, ie, the first with a hair dryer or a compressor, but with the wind pressure as low as possible. End of the treatment process of air filter covered with a special basting oil.
