Vehicle Fuel System and Fuel Injectors

Fuel InjectionKeeping your fuel injector clean helps keep your car at it's peak performance.

Dirty fuel injectors can lead to high carbon monoxide emissions, which is bad for the environment. Also they can lead to poor acceleration, poor fuel economy, lower power, rough idling and an incorrect air/fuel mix.

Clogging up your fuel injector doesn't take much either. The openings in the fuel injector are about half the size of a pin hole. And it only takes a small blockage to cause your engine to misfire.

That's why it's so important to clean your fuel injectors every 27,000 kilometers. Cars with lots of clicks or who make a lot of regular trips are more susceptible to clogged fuel injectors.

So next time your in for a regular tune up or inspection make sure to ask your Silvhorn Automotive technician if it's time for a fuel injector cleaning.
