Fuel System Cleaning

Many drivers overlook their fuel system when maintaining their cars. While you may schedule appointments to change air filters, replace oil, or rotate tires, having the certified team at Speck Buick GMC of Tri-Cities clean out your fuel system will improve your fuel efficiency, improve performance, and ensure a longer-lasting vehicle that will last a generation!

Why Should You Clean Your Fuel System?

The first thing drivers may ask is, “What is a fuel system?” This component is responsible for starting and delivering fuel to your engine with the correct amount so your motor doesn’t flood, choke, or fail, as dirt and debris can find their way in and cause internal damage to moving parts.

What are the perks of getting a fuel system cleaned?

• Better Engine Performance: When you clean your fuel system, you clear it free from dirt and other particles from your fuel injectors and filters. With a clean system, your engine runs smoother with better acceleration and overall performance.
• Prevent Engine Damage: The sludge that clogs up your fuel injectors, filters, and more can cause damage through corrosion and blockages. A fuel system cleaning clears out the gunk that will cause your engine to stall, misfire, or delay your acceleration.
• Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Fuel injector cleanings are essential. If your injectors are clogged, your engine has to work harder, reducing efficiency and causing more time and stops at the pump. However, with a clean system, you can burn fuel more efficiently, saving money in the long run.
• Reduced Emissions: When you have a clogged fuel system, your engine could have incomplete combustion, increasing the chance of harmful emissions from your exhaust. A well-maintained fuel system will produce fewer pollutants, which makes it run clean every time!
