Advantages Of Oxygen Sensor Recycling

By Leticia Jensen





Oxygen sensor recycling is one of the best methods used to bring down cost of maintaining a car and raising the engine efficiency. The air feeler salvage is located on the car exhaust system where it comes into contact with harmful gases such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen. They pollute the feeler and compromise its efficiency to sense fuel and air in the exhaust. This is a comprehensive report on how to recycle your car air feelers.



Oil, fuel, and engine coolant contamination have been the main causes of damage to air feeler. This damage is often compounded by buildup of soot in the ceramic part that reduces air detection efficiency. These issues coupled with poor gasoline quality lowers the ultimate lifespan of your car lifespan and demand frequent replacements.



Because air feelers work is to facilitate the appropriate mixture in your exhaust system, its ineffectiveness causes the car engine to run lean or rich. Salvaging the air feeler will help to bring down the amount of fuel used by the car. It will also raise the operation efficiency of your engine while slowing down the process of depreciation.



New feelers especially the modern wide-band are very expensive and might make running your car uneconomical. When you notice any of these problems, the first action should not rushing get a new feeler. If the problem is not major, it can easily be addressed by careful cleaning and maintenance. Remember that the process of cleaning is technical and requires you to understand the operations of the feeler and to remain very careful.



Because the sensor operates inside the exhaust system where temperatures are very high, the main contaminants often get covered by a layer of hard carbon at the tip. This hardened layer is usually stubborn and cannot be dissolved using solvents. The best method to remove the carbon cover is taking a tough blow torch and heat the feeler tip.



After cooling, the stubborn layer will have softened up and compressed air should be passed through it. The result is breaking down and falling off of all the hard carbon layer. It is advisable to repeat this process until the entire hard layer that occupied the surface and top of the air feeler is eliminated.



To remove contaminants resulting from oil and fuel, it is advisable to use CRC type of electronic cleaner. This cleanser is very effective and clears all the fuel related contaminants without leaving any residue. To avoid damaging the air feeler, it is important to avoid contacts of any air feeler with the cleaner nozzle.



The whole process of clearing dirt from the air feeler makes your body get exposed to dangerous chemicals and pollutants. Your hands should therefore be covered with gloves and the body in a complete overall. The eyes should also be covered using goggles and the nose masked to avoid inhalation of dangerous heavy metals such as lead and gases such as concentrated nitrogen oxides which are sure to be present.
