Why You May Want to Schedule a Fuel System Cleaning Appointment

Fuel system cleaning can be beneficial for several reasons. Here are some we felt were worth sharing:

Improves Fuel Efficiency

As you drive your vehicle month after month, particles can accumulate in the fuel system, including the fuel injectors and intake valves. Our cleaning service can help remove these deposits, improving fuel efficiency in the process.

Reduces Emissions

When your fuel system is free from deposits, your exhaust emits fewer harmful emissions, reducing the environmental impact.

Extends and Enhances Engine Performance

Deposits in the fuel system can also affect the engine’s performance impeding optimal fuel flow. A clean fuel system can restore this, which allows for smoother acceleration and overall better engine performance.

Keeping your vehicle’s fuel system clean can contribute to the longevity of your engine. Reducing particles in your fuel line means less wear and tear on components like fuel injectors and valves, extending and enhancing your engine, keeping your driving as you should.

As discussed on our service page

Fuel injectors deliver fuel to the engine’s combustion chamber by spraying a fine mist on to the back of an intake valve. If you can imagine an aerosol spray can being sprayed multiple times per second in the engine, then you can understand the function of the injector.

However, just like the aerosol can, the injectors can get clogged. Generally by dirt, gums and varnishes from the fuel. When this happens, the spray pattern of the fuel is affected. This means wasted fuel, decreased mileage and decreased performance and engine response.

Keeping your fuel system clean is an ideal measure to take within your vehicle’s regular maintenance. We, at Kelowna Car Craft, are here to help – and happy to do so!
