Deep Clean Your Fuel System at Gilmore's Auto Service

Posted December 26, 2021 8:16 AM

Having trouble with your fuel system? Bring your vehicle into Gilmore's Auto Service for a check up.

In today's Gilmore's Auto Service auto post, we're talking about fuel system cleaning. The first thing to know is how important it is to have a clean fuel system. Walnut Creek residents need fuel to go, and the cleaner the fuel system, the more efficiently the fuel will burn. That means more power and better mileage .

A clean fuel system saves money for Walnut Creek drivers at CA gas stations. We guess you could say it all starts and ends at the pump. One of the most important things Walnut Creek residents can do to keep their vehicle fuel system clean is to buy good quality gas. Major brands have detergents that keep gum and varnish from rapidly building up in the fuel system.

So buying cheaper gas in CA can actually be more expensive for Walnut Creek drivers in the long run. Now, most cars on CA roads are more than five or six years old. That means they've had time for some dirt and rust to start accumulating in the fuel tank. This junk needs to be filtered out of the fuel before it hits your vehicle engine. That's the fuel filter's job.

When the fuel filter is clogged, the dirty fuel will bypass the filter and go on up to the engine where it can clog fuel injectors and get into the cylinders. So Walnut Creek residents should have their fuel filter changed when recommended. Check your owner's manual or ask your friendly and knowledgeable Gilmore's Auto Service service advisor if your fuel filter is due for replacement.

I own a 2006 Ford Expedition that required a new driver’s seat motor system, allowing the seat to move forward and recline. I bought a used one from EBay Motors. But I needed to get someone to install. Josh and two other mechanics installed the system. Not sure if many auto shops would have attempted. Had some doubts whether it would work - a combination of system I bought and / or installing it properly. Success. Took almost three hours, with three mechanics help. Very pleased.
