Fuel System Cleaning Service

Serving Long Island since 1991. Give us a call, we’re happy to assist you.

HOW YOUR FUEL SYSTEM KEEPS YOUR FLEET RUNNING AT PEAK EFFICIENCY

In most vehicles, a fuel filter, fuel pump, and fuel injectors work together to bring fuel from your tank. The injectors then ensure that the perfect mixture of air and fuel reaches your engine. Once there, the fuel ignites to run your vehicle.

So, what stops that from happening? One word: buildup. Bits of old fuel, flakes of material from engine components, and even outside pollutants can build up in your fuel system and cause it to work less efficiently. This is where fuel system cleanings come in.

DOES YOUR FUEL SYSTEM NEED CLEANING?

Fuel system issues cost money and time! Get your drivers familiar with these problem signs so you can get service as soon as possible.

Poor Fuel Economy/Emissions - Decreased gas mileage and increased emission measurements. You may also notice your RPM gauge moving sporadically.
Rough Idling - Uneven sounds or shuddering while idling your truck.
Hard Starting - Taking multiple tries to start the truck and/or dealing with a hard knock at ignition.
Odd Sounds - Knocking, sputtering, or pinging noises that are often accompanied by shuddering or vibrations while driving, especially while accelerating.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING?

To clear your fuel system and remove any troublesome debris, an experienced technician will:

Clean the throttle so that it operates more smoothly.

Add an additive to the fuel tank to break down deposits.

Run a professional cleaning solution through the entire fuel system to remove debris and prevent future buildup.

Once this process is completed, your truck will be ready to get back out on the road. Just be sure to keep an eye out for those signs so you can get your next cleaning before it becomes a problem.

THE BENEFITS OF FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING SERVICE

SAVING MONEY

When a dirty fuel system causes you to use gas less efficiently, this causes you to spend more money on fuel. A fuel system cleaning can help optimize your fuel use and save you tons of expenses.

EFFICIENT OPERATION

A clean fuel system helps keep your engine running smoothly, prevents inconsistent power, and allows you to drive consistently without unpredictable issues or breakdowns.

FEWER REPAIRS

Keeping your fuel system clean can help prevent damage to other related parts of your engine. This can help save you money on repairs and maintenance in the long run.

HOW TO PREVENT FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS

Keep your fleet running at top speed with these tips for preventing fuel system issues:

1. Educate Your Drivers – Make sure that your drivers understand the warning signs of a corroded fuel system. This will help any issues get addressed before they cause more damage.

2. Schedule Regular Maintenance – Don’t forget: a well-maintained fleet is an efficient fleet. See the owner’s manuals for each of your vehicles for recommendations on maintenance timelines and inspections.

3. Partner With a Pro – A trusted auto service provider can help keep every truck on your lot in tip-top shape. Many of them can also provide the inspection services you need to stay compliant.
