Overview Of Fuel System Maintenance

The vehicles fuel system works with engine system to deliver clean

fuel that will produce the lowest emission.

The sole purpose of fuel system is to

store fuel,

clean the fuel and

send to combustion chamber where it mixes with air and

produces energy

Gas Tank

Fuel Lines

Fuel filter

Fuel Pumps

Fuel Injector

Gas Tank : It holds the deposited gas or

fuel..

Fuel Lines : Fuel line is full of hoses that will transfer the

fuel from the tank to engine

Fuel Injectors : They have tiny nozzles to spray the fuel into cylinder for combustion.

What are the causes that affect the wear and tear of the fuel

system ?

How To Maintain The Fuel System In A

Proper Way ?

Use Clean Fuel

In contaminated fuel, you will find extra water and

drill that can cause clogging in the fuel tank if

properly not taken care of.

If you are uncertain about the fuel quality that you are purchasing, then you must filter it out by taking the fuel in a different way like a fuel jar etc…

Keep the fuel pump out of water

The fuel has always maintained a percentage of water mixed with it, but when there is an extra droplet of water found, it can cause damage to the cylinder directly.

The contaminated fuel can cause this error and also create condensation inside the fuel tank

Sometimes the contaminated fuel can affect the head gasket or the fitting, so one must inspect and replace it

asap for better gas mileage.

Algae Prevention

The algae formation can cause by both water and fuel inside the tank.

Always use a biocide in oil that will prevent the formation of fungus and algae…

Fuel tank care

Always make sure to clean the fuel tank as sometimes the small dirt, water and algae etc can damage the injector

pump or the engine.

It’s always advisable to clean the fuel tank periodically to reduce the algae or debris formation

Fuel line selection

Always make sure to select the fuel line as per owner’s manual.

The metal fuel lines can cause deterioration and fuel contamination in the fuel hoses.

Fuel Filter

The fuel filter in diesel engine called secondary filter as it filters out the small contaminations that can pass from primary filter

You must inspect the filters on a daily basis and

make sure to replace when they are dirty.
