The Mercury Optimax employs a highly specialized injection system that uses both a fuel injector and an air injector, with fuel delivered through a shared rail directly into the air injector, which then injects the fuel-air mixture into the cylinder at precisely timed intervals for maximum power. For optimal performance, both injectors must operate in perfect sync, but the system can be compromised by high-ethanol fuels and debris from air pump failures. As part of our Mercury Optimax Air Fuel Injector Cleaning and Injector Services, we’ve developed custom-machined specialty cups for the Carbon Zapp and our exclusive POWERFLUSH machines to properly clean and test the Optimax air side of the injector stack.
Proprietary Mercury Optimax Fuel Injector Service Features
Proprietary Mercury Optimax Air Tool And Seals
The service we provide for E-TEC injectors follows the Port Injector service and is detailed on the Port Injector page. Additionally, you might come across Mercury Optimax air fuel injector cleaning or air injector service priced at $20, but this usually does not include O-rings and seals, which are often additional costs as purchase options. The OEM Mercury Seal Kit #26-804875 for Optimax Air injectors costs $22 on its own. As a result, shops use aftermarket combustion seals to lower the cost. Generally, they all come from the same supplier base regardless of who you buy them from. Be cautious, as often they do not serve as accurate replacements; we have discarded thousands of these seals.
Proprietary Optimax Sealing Solution
To address this quality shortcoming in the marketplace, we now produce our own proprietary combustion seals to ensure the exact quality, fit, and function of the OEM seals—as well as our own proper combustion seal sizing tool. There is a difference. By producing these components in-house, we’re able to offer comprehensive Mercury Optimax Injector Services, including full-service maintenance for the Mercury Optimax air injector. This includes traditional ultrasonic cleaning, our exclusive POWERFLUSH reverse cleaning process, and all-new parts listed below—at a price LESS than most places charge for cleaning alone.
- Correct Upper and Lower O-rings
- Correct Combustion Seal
- Combustion Seal Precision Fit with Our Proprietary Tool

Yes, we have a 2 injector minimum.
Absolutely! Rest assured that we will take care of removing the injectors for you for (typically GDI and side feed) and invoice you for a bench fee of $10 per rail to do the work as problems can often arise. However, it’s important to note that we cannot be held responsible for any potential damage that may occur during the removal process. To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend that you personally remove the injectors from the rail.
To avoid any issues with shipping service secure them in plastic and tape them to prevent leaks.
For your convenience, side feed injectors will be re-installed in the fuel rails, top feed and GDI injectors will be packaged separately. GDI Injector clips are very easy, you’ll have no issues, but they are tricky to get off which we will do if you wish.

When preparing the injectors for shipping, it is strongly advised to place them inside a regular zip lock bag first. This will help to keep the fuel smell contained. It is important to avoid any damage during transit, so make sure not to simply toss the bag into a box without any additional packing material. This is particularly crucial for the pintle end.
It is not recommended to ship the injectors in a bubble envelope. Optimal protection can be achieved by using a box with some padding or a bubble envelope in a box. The small flat rate box from the Post Office may be good budget-friendly option for smaller injectors.
We charge flat rate shipping per item type for most items where specified as ‘Free Shipping’. Other Shipping charges are listed in the store per based on quantity.
We recommend insuring the package you are sending for the exact value of the items you are shipping, so that you can easily replace them if needed in the event you need to file a claim. Adding additional insurance beyond the items value will accomplish nothing.
