Fuel System

Fuel System Cleaning Service


Your fuel system consists of a fuel filter, fuel pump, and fuel injectors. These three components work to ensure fuel travels from the fuel tank to your engine’s fuel injectors, then atomizes into the engine. The correct air-and-fuel mixture is necessary for optimal combustion to power your vehicle.


With a fuel system cleaning service, your engine performance and gas mileage can be vastly improved. The filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors are all part of an interconnected system that can get filled with dirt and debris. Fuel injector cleaner is used to wash it all out. A clogged fuel system can damage other engine parts and lead to reduced performance, poor fuel economy, or if neglected too long, even result in a complete engine shutdown.

We suggest a fuel system cleaning approximately once a year, or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.


Fuel Filter Replacement


On average you may need your fuel filter replaced once a year. The filter is there to trap any dirt particles in the fuel before it reaches the engine. Neglecting to change the filter regularly will lead to reduced engine performance and even serious engine damage.


Fuel Efficiency Tips


With costs at the pump increasing and our yearly mileage going up each year, we can certainly use a few, simple fuel efficiency tips. It is wise to evaluate your driving habits and look at some vehicle maintenance options in order to save money on gas.


Here are some easy way to increase fuel efficiency:


  • Slow it down. Speeding, stop-and-go driving, taking off too fast, and inconsistent speeds are going to drain your tank quicker. For example, if you go 65 MPH instead of 55 MPH, your car’s fuel mileage drops by about two miles per gallon.
  • Don’t leave your engine idling. Sometimes, we have to — but it’s best to avoid leaving your engine running. It’s a small amount, but it’s still wasted fuel.
  • If possible, plan your trip to avoid traffic. Stop-and-go driving takes a toll on your vehicle. Connect small trips together into a single long one. Combining your errands like this will save you money year after year.
  • Consistent speeds use less gasoline. Peeling out at green lights will only drive you to the gas station faster. Keeping your speed more consistent will get you farther on less money.


Well-maintained vehicles are also more fuel-efficient. When you take good care of your car and bring it in for regular maintenance, you are ensuring that it will perform at it’s best.


  • Properly inflated tires. This is a no-brainer. It helps your tires last longer and keeps your car running better.
  • Follow the recommended service schedule for your vehicle. Whether its transmission flushes or oil changes, every part can play a role in fuel economy.
  • Have the fuel system cleaned. Fuel injectors start to feed fuel improperly and spark plugs may burn inefficiently when impurities build up with debris and residues. Improper fuel consumption can be very bad news for your vehicle in other ways, too. Premature catalytic converter failures are often caused by poorly serviced fuel systems.
  • Clean the air filter. Your car breathes and needs oxygen to burn fuel. So a dirty or clogged up air filter leads to inefficient air intake and reduces overall performance.
