Fuel Injection Service Explained

Every vehicle engine has a fuel system that is composed of a fuel filter, a pump, and injectors. During a fuel injection service, we will usually inspect all connections, the fuel and vacuum lines, the fuel rail, and the pressure regulator.

Our mechanics will then clean the fuel injectors and throttle body air intake. Afterward, we will pressure test the fuel pump and system and then decarbonize other parts of the system like the exhaust valves. Finally, we will run an exhaust emission test to make sure the system is working properly again.

When to Get a Fuel Injection Service

Each car is different, so you may want to check your user manual for reference. However, we recommend that you get your fuel system serviced about every 25,000 miles.

What are the Benefits of Fuel Injection Service?

Below are some of the reasons why your vehicle needs a fuel injection service.

Lubrication

A fuel injection service ensures that the individual components, such as valves, injectors, and rings are well-lubricated. This keeps your engine functioning properly, and reduces the risk of corrosion in the fuel system.

Environmental

When your engine combusts properly, it reduces the risk of polluting the environment. You’re not going to produce the same emissions you would as you do when there is a carbon build-up. 

Efficiency

You will enjoy more mileage for your money when your fuel system is clean. A clean fuel system will save you money in the long run.

Durability

When your fuel system is clogged, the engine is forced to work harder. When it’s clean, you’ll notice a significant improvement in how your car accelerates and handles, less wear, and longer engine life.
