Having a vehicle's fuel system serviced periodically ensures optimal performance while also extending the life of the car, SUV, or truck. By cleaning the system, the vehicle gets better fuel economy in addition to helping the engine function better. Cleaning the fuel injector is required after approximately 60,000 miles to prevent clogging and poor acceleration. Keeping the system clean also reduces carbon emissions.
Servicing the fuel system includes examining all of the parts to determine if a possible replacement is necessary, secondary to wear and tear of components. The fuel pump, filter, injectors, and lines are evaluated for potential problems.
Our Shelburne, VT MINI of Burlington technicians then run a chemical additive through the system in order to dissolve and remove any harmful deposits that build up in the lines, fuel pump, or gas tank. Otherwise, blockages prevent the fuel from flowing freely and stressing the system components. Sludge and blockages hamper fuel-efficiency and may eventually damage parts.
