Fuel System

How exactly does the Fuel system work? Although each fuel system varies depending on the make and model of the automobile, the primary function is relatively the same in the sense of delivering the fuel supply to the combustion chamber. Some of the components in the Fuel System include the fuel tank, pump, filter, and injectors. For the engine to function correctly, all these components must work together perfectly to reach expected vehicle performance and reliability.

Unfortunately, over time an engine’s performance can slowly weaken because of buildup and wear, which blocks essential parts of the fuel system. As a result, issues could arise down the road such as reduced fuel efficiency, power, and leakage to name a few.

The primary signs of wear or deterioration of the Fuel System:

  1.    Difficult Starting your engine
  2.    Slow or Hesitation at Acceleration
  3.    Stalling While Driving
  4.    Check/ Service Light Illuminated
  5.    Rough Engine Ideal
  6.    Excessive Engine Smoke
  7.    Noticeable Fuel Odors
  8.    Decreased Fuel Economy
