 Have a fuel system cleaning every 18,000-30,000 miles. Dirt, water, scale and rust can easily find their way into your fuel tank. A clean functioning fuel filter helps prevent contaminants from entering your fuel system and damaging your fuel injection system or carburetor. Replace your fuel filter every 30,000 miles - a clogged filter makes your fuel pump work harder, which can cause an expensive premature fuel pump failure Have your air intake cleaned every 18,000-30,000 miles Insider Tip - Keep fuel level in tank at a quarter or above - the gas cools the electrical pump Also don't fill up at the pumps when the tanker is delivering - more dirt & rust is stirred up at this time Regular fuel system services - just like your biannual dental cleanings keep the plaque away; your fuel system service keeps deposit build up from accumulating on your fuel injectors and your injectors spray pattern clean & even. Above left is a good clean injector and above right is one with build up which occurs every time you or I shut off our fuel injected vehicles. |
