Or should they?

If so, how do you clean them?

I've always been skeptical of the cleaners you can add to fuel. As for actually cleaning them with some type of solvent, I guess you could try electronics parts cleaner. I think once they are too dirty, it's just "over johnny".

Thats why I was thinking of regular maintenance cleaning, maybe every few months.

I've read/heard of people cleaning them off with a torch. Not sure if it works, never tried it...

I've done it with a torch.

Go to Lowes and get a $10 propane torch.

Put the sensor in a vice.

Hit it 5 ways; 4 sides and from the top, holding it for 45-60 seconds at a time on the bung.

Cleans it right up.

I save a few O2's this way.

Hmmm, is it easy to mess them up with the torch?

Is there a chemical that can get the build-up off of them?

I never messed them up with the torch, it just glows red. Not aware of any chemical that can do it. I found the tip doing a google on O2's about 3 years ago.

I use electrical contact cleaner to get off the loose residue, then put the torch to them, then use the contact cleaner again. Never had a problem.
