FUEL SYSTEM

The fuel system is made up of the fuel tank, pump, filter, and injectors or
carburetor, and is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine as needed. Each
component must perform flawlessly to achieve expected vehicle performance and
reliability. Over time, an engine's performance can slowly diminish because of
buildup, which clogs vital parts of the fuel system and causes reduced fuel
efficiency and power. The fuel injector is the last stop for fuel in your engine
before it goes inside to the combustion chamber. It is basically an electrically
operated gate that opens just long enough to meter the perfect amount of fuel to run
the engine.
Carburetors were the usual method of fuel delivery for most vehicles up
until the late 1980s. Most carburetors were manual non-electric devices that are
used for mixing vaporized fuel with air to produce a combustible or explosive
mixture for internal combustion engines. Carburetors have been mostly supplanted
by electronic fuel injection. The intake valve opens to allow the air/fuel mixture to
be drawn into the combustion chamber. Deposits on the intake valves can restrict
or change the flow of the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. Fuel can
stick to deposits on the intake valve and not enter the combustion chamber when
needed. The right fuel system service can help reverse these effects and restore lost
performance. The piston travels up and down and converts the pressure from
combustion into movement. A detergent cleaner can help remove or reduce
deposits that have been shown to be effective in reducing or eliminating deposit-
related drivability and performance loss. The combustion chamber is where the
burning of the air/fuel mixture happens. Deposits in the combustion chamber can
affect heat transfer and air/fuel compression. Excess heat can cause premature
ignition and knocking. Some vehicles contain knock sensors that are used to
determine engine knock or pre- or post-detonation. With these sensors, the
computer will detune the engine to eliminate this symptom, which has an adverse
effect on performance. Fuel system deposits will cause knocking, which is why it
is so important to keep your fuel system clean.
