Fuel Service Is Necessary
Although servicing the fuel system isn't as frequent as changing the oil, you should still consider performing simple fuel system services like changing the fuel filter every couple of years.
Why Is Fuel Service Necessary?
When you fill-up at the gas station, there is no way of knowing how clean the gas or diesel fuel is, so it must filter through the fuel filter before being injected into the engine to avoid damage.
Other Fuel Components That Sometimes Need Servicing
The most important and frequent fuel system service is replacing the fuel filter, but here are some other fuel system parts that sometimes need to be cleaned or replaced:
- Fuel injectors
Fuel injectors need service/replacement every ~30-60 thousand miles for the best performance
- Fuel regulator
The fuel pressure regulator plays a key role in letting the right amount of fuel into the engine.
Pour fuel cleaner in with your gas/diesel regularly to maintain a clean fuel system.
