Flushing your fuel system typically involves a multi-step cleaning process using specialized chemicals.
According to Tire Kingdom, a fuel system cleaning process includes:
- Fuel Tank Treatment: Add a special cleaner to the fuel tank. This cleaner is designed to clean the gas pump, fuel lines, and pump/injectors. This helps remove deposits that can build up over time and impede fuel flow.
- Direct Engine Cleaning: Add a second, specially-made cleaner directly to the warm engine using a vacuum source. The engine is then run to help remove carbon deposits in the combustion chambers. This addresses deposits that accumulate in the engine itself, impacting performance.
