Is Fuel System Cleaning at 4S Stores Necessary?

[SanAutumn]

Fuel system cleaning is indeed necessary because gasoline contains certain impurities that can generate carbon deposits in the combustion chamber over time. As these deposits accumulate, they can impair combustion efficiency, thereby affecting engine performance and increasing fuel consumption. This can also lead to poor fuel injector atomization, resulting in issues such as reduced engine power, poor acceleration, and non-compliant exhaust emissions. Maintenance and cleaning of the fuel system: 1. Regularly add fuel system cleaners, opting for high-quality products: Generally, cleaning should be performed every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. The purpose is to effectively remove carbon deposits, sediments, and gum from the combustion chamber, intake valves, fuel injectors, and fuel lines during vehicle operation, ensuring the fuel system remains clean. 2. Use specialized equipment for cleaning: Non-disassembly cleaning is performed by adding a cleaning solution through a supply device, commonly referred to as "hanging an IV." The advantage is that it enables non-disassembly cleaning while the engine is running, protecting the engine and effectively avoiding damage caused by disassembly. Most 4S stores adopt this method.
