Professional Fuel System Cleaning

August 9, 2022



Getting adequate fuel to your engine is very important for performance, fuel economy and safety. In order to accomplish this, your fuel system needs to be clean.

Today's production cars have fuel injectors, rather than a carburetor. The injectors need to be cleaned from time to time in order to deliver the fuel with the correct pressure, spray pattern and volume.

Elgin drivers can buy fuel system cleaners that you pour into your gas tank to help maintain an already clean fuel system; however, they can't do a major cleaning. For that, you need to see Tuffy Auto Service Center Elgin in Elgin. We have the tools and chemicals to do the job right. Our friendly and knowledgeable team at Tuffy Auto Service Center Elgin can remove particles, gum and varnish from your fuel system and get those injectors running cleanly and efficiently.

You'll find Tuffy Auto Service Center Elgin at 395 S. Randall Rd in Elgin, Illinois 60123. Or just give us a call at 847-717-4682 to schedule an appointment.

You'll enjoy more power, better fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions. The cleaners also help prevent rust and corrosion in your fuel system and lubricate engine parts.

And, as with all maintenance, it can help prevent repairs that can happen because you didn't take preventative steps. Our advisors at Tuffy Auto Service Center Elgin can tell you when your car is scheduled for a fuel system cleaning.
