Hey picked up some new injectors a while back. Was getting my car steam cleaned so they ended up in the trunk...With some leather cleaner that broke open and covered my injector nozzles. They are a little tarnished and theres no oil left on them. So i was wondering just dab a little oil on them and throw them in or bad idea...

Nozzles or injectors? There is a BIG difference in the two terms.

If nozzles, maybe try some tarnish remover dip chemical first? It will etch off a thin layer of material and penitentially open the holes slightly but probably not enough to hurt anything if you follow the instructions exactly.

Wouldn't bio-diesel be an even better cleaner than regular diesel?

never really even thought about that. Good idea...diesel is very cheap too. Bio diesel i'd have to drive to far to get anyways :)
