Engines perform quite a bit of work and produce high amounts of heat to run vehicles and get drivers where they need to go.
In order to continue working properly, engine components require some upkeep. If you travel through traffic on a daily basis, taking care of your engine is even more important.
These maintenance methods span from having oil changes performed regularly to mileage-based services.
In addition to using BG MOA when replacing the oil, we recommend conducting a fuel induction service.
About the Fuel Induction Service
Engines are made up of various parts, including combustion chambers, fuel injectors and intake valves, that needed to be cleaned out.
Overtime, ethanol can cause carbon to accumulate in the fuel system. These deposits can impact combustion and result in problems with driveability.
Signs of carbon buildup include rough idle, stalling, difficulty starting the vehicle, and a decrease in gas mileage. Engine surges, less power, and an increase in emissions emitted can also be symptoms.
The fuel induction service gets rid of the particles.
Why you should get the Fuel Induction Service
There are several benefits of getting the Fuel Induction Service.
It cleans various components, including the fuel injectors, throttle body, and intake valves.
Not only does it clean out the fuel system, it also lowers the amount of emissions a vehicle releases.
Improving the fuel economy and how well the engine runs, and restoring power are a few other perks.
When to get this service
The Fuel Induction Service is suggested every 30,000 miles. However, some manufacturers recommend it more often.
For example, cars that have GDI engines or a fuel system with direct injection may require the service sooner.
If you are noticing any symptoms of carbon buildup, that’s also a good time to have this maintenance option conducted.
What happens during a Fuel Induction Service
We begin this service by putting a fuel system drier, which absorbs moisture, in the fuel tank.
A fuel system cleaner is added to remove carbon buildup and prevent damage that’s caused by ethanol.
The technicians complete the Fuel Induction Service by running an air intake cleaner through the system. This product cleans the intake manifold and valves.
Between services
Fuel systems can receive some extra support in between fuel induction services.
We recommend adding BG 44K, which cleans the fuel system and gets rid of any carbon buildup. This item improves how well the combustion and engine works, as well. It can be used on all types of vehicles, including those that have diesel engines and turbocharged engines.
Engines experience a significant amount of stress on a daily basis. Fuel induction services are one way you can do your engine a favor and ensure that it’s able to function for many more years.
