 A
properly maintained fuel system is one of the
keys to keeping your vehicle performing like it
should. By following our recommended system of
basic maintenance on your fuel system, you'll
help maximize fuel efficiency, and help
avoid problems such as rough idling, weak
acceleration, stumbling, and stalling.
The fuel system
provides fuel storage in the vehicle, filters
out particulates, delivers fuel to the intake
air system, and mixes the air and gasoline in
the correct ratio to provide the most efficient
combustion (i.e., the highest fuel efficiency)
in the engine.
Making sure your flow of gas is not blocked is vital to getting the most
mileage for your money. Optimal use of your
gasoline is helped by fighting the accumulation
of performance robbing deposits in the fuel
system. Today's modern engines are more
susceptible to deposit build-up than ever
before. Deposits have been found to start
forming in as few as 1,500 miles. Studies
have shown that deposits can decrease your fuel
efficiency by as much as 11 percent.
