Fuel System Cleaning Service

HOW YOUR FUEL SYSTEM KEEPS YOUR FLEET RUNNING AT PEAK EFFICIENCY

In most vehicles, a fuel filter, fuel pump, and fuel injectors work together to bring fuel from your tank. The injectors then ensure that the perfect mixture of air and fuel reaches your engine. Once there, the fuel ignites to run your vehicle. 

So, what stops that from happening? One word: buildup. Bits of old fuel, flakes of material from engine components, and even outside pollutants can build up in your fuel system and cause it to work less efficiently. This is where fuel system cleanings come in.

DOES YOUR FUEL SYSTEM NEED CLEANING?

Fuel system issues cost money and time! Get your drivers familiar with these problem signs so you can get service as soon as possible.

• Poor Fuel Economy/Emissions – Decreased gas mileage and increased emission measurements. You may also notice your RPM gauge moving sporadically.
• Rough Idling – Uneven sounds or shuddering while idling your truck.
• Hard Starting – Taking multiple tries to start the truck and/or dealing with a hard knock at ignition.
• Odd Sounds – Knocking, sputtering, or pinging noises that are often accompanied by shuddering or vibrations while driving, especially while accelerating.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING?

To clear your fuel system and remove any troublesome debris, an experienced technician will:

• Clean the throttle so that it operates more smoothly.
• Add an additive to the fuel tank to break down deposits.
• Run a professional cleaning solution through the entire fuel system to remove debris and prevent future buildup.

Once this process is completed, your truck will be ready to get back out on the road. Just be sure to keep an eye out for those signs so you can get your next cleaning before it becomes a problem.
