What Does a Fuel System Do?
Simply put, a vehicle's fuel system stores and supplies fuel to the engine. It consists of a fuel tank, a pump, a filter, and injectors to deliver fuel to the engine on demand. For the fuel system to function properly, all components need to work properly. When it's not, vehicle performance is impacted.
Benefits of a Fuel System Cleaning
A clean fuel system is good for your vehicle's engine. It removes existing deposits and helps prevent the buildup of future deposits, meaning that you're likely to be able to extend the functional life of your engine.
Other benefits of fuel system cleaning include:
- Improved fuel economy and reduced emissions: You'll likely experience better fuel economy following a fuel system cleaning. Better fuel economy translates to fewer emissions coming out of your tailpipe.
- Better engine performance: The removal of deposits in the fuel system doesn't just help extend the life of the engine - it also helps it operate more effectively.
It's generally recommended to have your vehicle's fuel system cleaned every 45,000 miles. Consult your owner's manual or contact your local shop in the GreatWater network today for more information.
Signs You Need Your Fuel System Repaired
Think you need a thorough fuel system cleaning or even fuel system repair? Here's a look at some of the signs to be on the lookout for:
- Your gas mileage has tanked: Does it seem like you're always at the gas pump filling up? A dirty fuel system could be the culprit.
- Rough idling: A shaking or shuddering car, especially when it's stopped at a traffic light, is a problem. In many cases, it's because the fuel injectors are clogged, thereby preventing gasoline from adequately reaching the combustion chamber.
- Misfiring engine: Is your engine sputtering or misfiring? This can happen when fuel is unable to reach the combustion chamber.
- Poor acceleration: If you're pressing down the pedal and it seems like your car is going nowhere fast, it may be because the engine isn't getting the fuel it needs to accelerate. Dirty fuel injectors or a clogged fuel pump are common causes.
- Rough starts: Many drivers associate rough starts with a bad battery. While that could be one cause, a clogged fuel line is another common culprit
