Even
with the best cleaning and maintenance services available, it’s
practically impossible to keep a vehicle completely free from dirt
and grime. Why? That’s because gasoline itself is not entirely
pure. It contains plenty of heavy, waxy compounds and additives that
leave behind deposits once the fuel residue in the fuel injector
finally evaporates.
These
deposits may seem insignificant at first, but over time, they
contribute to engine problems like starting failures, so-called
engine knocking, and higher fuel consumption. Fuel companies seek to
address this by adding detergents, but this remedy may not work on
frequently used vehicles. For this reason, service stations and
automotive dealerships alike need to be ready for when their
customers need to get their fuel injectors cleaned.
Normally,
fuel injectors need to be cleaned after accumulating 25,000 in
mileage. Then again, lapses in fuel performance could also indicate
that the injectors already need cleaning. Mechanics can intervene by
thoroughly inspecting the vehicle’s fuel lines.
Meanwhile,
motorists should also learn how to distinguish between fuel injector
cleaners designed for minor clogs and those that deal with extensive
blockages. If the deposits found inside the injector are too hard,
then the problem calls for the services of a professional.
