General Injector cleaning/cleaner

[Code Breaker]

Hi all, have a Ducato 2015 3.0 engine. The question I have is, has anyone used any successful method of cleaning their injectors and secondly what cleaner have you used and got good results please.

I have tried additives in the past with no success.
The original Bosch common Rail injectors I have stripped and rebuilt after cleaning the parts in an ultrasonic tank with success, but the later piezo type I haven't worked on and at 71 never will

I tried the same method on 2 engines 1 worked beautifully and the other no obvious difference. Method was to monitor injector variances before and after use of Liqui Moly diesel purge. No difference was with my 10,000 mile Ducato (2017) The one that was obvious is a 2010 Skoda with VW 1.6 CAYC engine 90,000miles.

Was that with the additive mixed in a full tank of diesel or running straight from the can?

in about 40l of fuel. I tried direct from the can method initially but was unsuccessful with the car so went to the tank.
