Diesel & Fuel Injector Cleaning Service in Perth

FUEL SYSTEMS

The fuel that powers you down the road. The fuel system is critical in storing and delivering the gasoline or diesel fuel to your engine. Typical components are the fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel lines. Read more below to find out how it all works. The fuel system feed your engine the gasoline/diesel it needs to run. If anyone of the parts in the system break down your engine will not run. Let’s look at the major parts of the fuel system

Why You Need Our Fuel Injector Cleaning Service: I would say the most common problem is a clogged fuel filter. Make sure you follow your manufacturers recommendations as to when you should change the fuel filter. This information should be in your owners manual. Symptoms include sputtering at high speeds or engine not starting at all. Always check the ignition system first, if that’s ok then the next suspect is the fuel filter. Next most common problem is the fuel pump failing. Most modern electric fuel pumps can be heard when you turn the key on.If you don’t hear the pump running and your car will not start, it could be your fuel pump. The first thing a mechanic will check is the relay which sends power to the pump. If this is operating correctly then the pump will have to be replaced. Last but not least is dirty injectors. While the fuel filter does a good job of filtering the fuel, it’s not perfect. Over time deposits and tiny particles lodge themselves in the injectors. This can clog and injector and prevent it from delivering the fuel the engine needs. It can also cause an injector to stick open and send too much fuel into the engine. A regular addition of fuel system cleaner like STP Injector Cleaner, or Techtron fuel system cleaner can help keep your injectors clean.

Most Fuel stations, department stores and all automotive parts stores will have a good cleaner available. Add it to your empty tank right before you fill up and it will clean as you drive. I recommend doing this every 3 months to keep your injectors performing like new. Mechanics also offer a cleaning service where they actually disconnect the fuel line and flush cleaner through the engine. This is only necessary when you let your injectors get to a point where they can not be cleaned by a store-bought product. Regular use of a good in-tank cleaner and our fuel injector service will keep you from having to pay for this service..

Where do you buy your Fuel? Believe it, or not, it can make a difference. Always buy from a well know national brand service station. Fuel stations which are not affiliated with one brand of fuel tend to get whatever is left at the end of the day from the delivery truck. One day they might get Texaco, and Exxon another. Also water mixed with fuel will cause problems with your engine. The engine will not run right, plus the water will promote rust in the fuel system. I have experienced this when I purchased fuel at some no-name fuel stations. Your car will feel sluggish and sometimes refuse to run if there is enough water in the fuel.

Octane rating tip Putting premium in the tank will not get you any more performance or better fuel consumption unless specifically recommended by your cars manufacturer. If your owners manual says put in 91 octane…… DO IT. You are throwing money out the window if you are filling up on Premium and you only need Regular.
