Injector service/ fuel rail service????? What is the correct approch????

2012 Mercury pro xs 250
serial # 1b916908

I guess this is aimed at Don, but others may have already done this so I do not want to bother him with the crazy questions. I bought a 2012 puma last year with 140 hours on it. Now I have 310 hours on it and have heard to get the injectors cleaned and calibrated. I want to do this, but I am also seeing a fuel rail cleaning. Is this necessary? From the sticky note I read sounds like he recommends sending in the whole fuel system intact. I tried figuring the pricing but a little unsure. I just ordered a manual, fuel filter, water pump, spark plugs from his website so am I missing anything else? Thanks for all of your help.

I had Don do a cleaning/testing for me on a previous 250 and I also sent him a set from a buddies 225. I recommend and will only have the entire system checked/cleaned by him because they are all crucial components and in both cases, Don found and corrected, issues with all components. It is your engine and your dollar but I can personally vouch for the work done and benefit of having all parts of the system done. Rails, VST, direct and fuel injectors.

What was the cost? Thanks

Ballpark $6-700

You would need to send the rails, complete with ALL hoses still attached to them (do not remove any allen-head screws during disassembly).

Also the Direct (Air) Injectors should be wrapped separately in bubble wrap, and sent in (with a Service Request Form, which you can download from the below link):

INTEGRITY Injection

You really should have a manual for your engine serial number before you start this project. I also recommend Don, as he did my rails/injectors and fine work I might add. The only other injector service option I'd consider is Brucato's.

Though for a 2.5L Optimax, the process is very similar, you can see what needs to be done in this post (ignore the reed replacement steps) - Fuel Rail and Direct Injector Removal

Thanks and as soon as I get the manual I will get everything pulled off and sent to you. Also when you perform this service can you return with the proper clamps and tool for the clamps? I just do not know how many clamps and other small parts.

We will normally set you up with the necessary clamps, unless you instruct us otherwise. :wink:
