Simple Answers from TOWER SERVICE STATION for Hamilton: Fuel System Service
Question:
What benefit will I get out of a fuel system cleaning?
TOWER SERVICE STATION Answer:
Well, the dirtier your fuel system is, the bigger the improvement you’ll see in performance and MPG. But it’s essential not to wait until your engine is running poorly, you’ve wasted hundreds of dollars in gas or maybe even damaged your fuel injectors and catalytic converter.
Look, gasoline is a petroleum-based product and will leave some residue, gum and varnish along the way. Some of that can find its way into your fuel injectors and interfere with their vital job. The fuel injectors do just that – inject fuel into your truck engine. They spray a precise amount of fuel, at a precise time, in a precise pattern, at a precise pressure. When they are dirty this essential precision just isn’t possible. So your truck engine can run rough. Also carbon deposits build up on valves and in the combustion chamber. Fuel economy suffers and performance is degraded.
These dangerous conditions allow excess unburned fuel to pass out through the exhaust to accumulate in the catalytic converter – which can lead to it overheating and failing for Hamilton drivers. So bad MPG, poor engine performance and the chance of having to replace pricey fuel injectors and catalytic converters – all potential problems for Hamilton car owners with dirty truck fuel systems.
A professional fuel system cleaning in Hamilton cleans out deposits, fuel injectors and the air induction system. Hamilton motorists get optimal power, performance and fuel economy and it helps avoid pricey future repairs.
Now I said professional fuel system cleaning: this isn’t just pouring a bottle in the gas tank. Cleaner is added into the fuel system with a special tool attached to a vacuum source and there is some manual scrubbing of the throttle body and air induction system. If you are experiencing a rough idle or unusually poor fuel economy, ask your friendly TOWER SERVICE STATION service specialist if a professional fuel system cleaning at TOWER SERVICE STATION in Hamilton is in order.
