Fuel System Cleaning At Sterling Tire & Auto
November 21, 2014
Is your car sometimes hard to start on an early Sterling Heights morning? When you turn the key, does it hesitate or stutter? If so, the problem could be the result of a dirty fuel system. Your car's fuel system starts with the air filter and ends in the top of your engine. Over time, different parts of the system get dirty, which robs you of performance and hurts your gas mileage.
Most Sterling Heights motorists have fuel injectors, rather than a carburetor. Fuel injection systems have fewer problems and require less adjustment. But they still need to be properly maintained. This is why your owner's manual has a schedule for cleaning your fuel injectors and other essential parts of your fuel system.
Some Sterling Heights drivers are interested in buying fuel system cleaners that they can pour into your gas tank. You can do that - and there are lots of great products available that can help maintain an already clean fuel system - but these products cannot do a major cleaning. For that, you need to see Sterling Tire & Auto. Sterling Tire & Auto has the professional tools and chemicals to really do a complete service.
Sterling Tire & Auto uses a process that gives your car a deep, professional fuel system cleaning. You need to remove particles, gum and varnish from your fuel system and get those injectors running cleanly and efficiently. After a professional fuel system cleaning, you'll notice more power, better fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions.
The cleaners also help prevent rust and corrosion in your fuel system and lubricate essential engine parts.
Fuel system cleaning is just one of those important recommended service items that helps keep your SUV running strong. As with all maintenance, it can help avoid pricey repairs that often result from not taking the right preventive steps. Sterling Heights motorists will notice the difference in how well their car runs. Check with your friendly Sterling Tire & Auto tech to see when your car is scheduled for a fuel system cleaning.
An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure for Sterling Heights motorists.
