Everyone who knows anything about engines knows that a V8 is a fast, powerful, gas guzzler. And a four-cylinder is slower, less powerful, and more fuel efficient. Well, everything you think you know about engines has changed. Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) has made fuel-efficient muscle cars a thing. Pair an
WICHITA, Kan – BG introduces the new BG Platinum™ Fuel System Service, an enhanced atomization procedure which will remove carbon from the entire Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) fuel system. Today’s engine technology is susceptible to rapid accumulation of carbon deposits. Even drivers with new vehicles will quickly experience a decrease
A history of the fuel induction service A fuel induction service removes the deposits that build up inside the air intake system of an engine. This service has been around for a long time, dating back to the days of carbureted engines, when carbon would build up on top of
For those interested in a short overview of the gasoline direct injection engine, you can find its history documented nicely in Wikipedia about as fast as you can type “GDI engine.”Wikipedia’s bullet points include the fact that this engine technology has been around since the turn of the century but
WICHITA, Kan.–April 4, 2016–Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines are prone to early carbon buildup. Vehicle owners will notice a drop in power and performance, sometimes before the first oil change. BG introduces the new BG GDI Fuel/Air Induction Service which will remove carbon from the entire GDI fuel system in
CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards will save new 2016 car buyers $4,000 in gas over the lifetime of the vehicle, say government analysts. In 2011, the Obama administration and vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) agreed on a CAFE fleet mandate of 54.5 MPG by 2025, OEMs must innovate to achieve the
Question: Can I leave BG EPR® in my engine until my next oil change? Answer: No. BG EPR® Engine Performance Restoration,® PN 109, reduces oil contamination by fuel and minimizes oil evaporation into the air intake, which is a common problem in gasoline direct injection engines. This results in more
If you read this article, you learned about a few new technologies in the automotive arena. One such technology, gasoline direct injection (GDI), has become increasingly popular in recent years. In 2014, GDI vehicles held a 38 percent market share in the light duty passenger car market. The American GDI
In order to reduce frictional drag energy loss and increase fuel efficiency, gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines use thinner and lighter piston rings, called low tension piston rings.Piston ring spring force in older port fuel injection (PFI) engines used to be as high as 30 psi. New PFI and GDI
WICHITA, Kan. – June 3, 2010 –BG Products, Inc., announces the new BG Gasoline Direct Injection Cleaner, Part Nos. 271 and 272. BG’s two-part chemical process quickly softens and disperses baked-on deposits, which accumulate on the intake valves of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines.The GDI engine has notable advantages over
