Does an Engine Necessarily Require Fuel?
1 Answers
To avoid increased fuel consumption and ensure normal engine startup and operation, it is essential to maintain the vehicle's fuel system. Reasons for Maintenance: After prolonged use, the fuel system can become obstructed or clogged due to dust in the air and impurities in the gasoline. Additionally, carbon deposits and gum produced during combustion can adhere to the intake and exhaust valves, intake and exhaust passages, throttle body, and combustion chamber, particularly on the fuel injector nozzles. This can lead to clogging or sticking of the injectors, causing fuel leakage, poor atomization, or even complete failure to inject fuel. Consequently, this results in increased fuel consumption, reduced engine power, unstable idling, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting. Maintenance Considerations: Regular fuel system maintenance is necessary—neither neglected nor overly frequent.
