Are you familiar with the fuel system of your vehicle? How about the importance of a clean fuel system? A clean fuel system is important for the longevity of your car’s engine. You should clean your fuel system regularly, but I’m horrible at doing that. It can improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and increase mileage. A clean fuel system also prevents deposits from building up in the fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chamber, which can reduce engine power and performance. The Lucas Oil Complete Fuel System Renewal Kit is exactly what you need. The Kit includes one (1) bottle of Lucas Deep Clean Fuel System Cleaner and three (3) bottles of Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant and Injector Cleaner. All you need to do is pour the entire bottle into the fuel tank before or after filling. If your fuel consumption has increased this could indicate you need a tune-up.
What Exactly Is a Fuel System?
While there are small differences depending on the vehicle, the main components of today’s fuel systems include a fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines, injectors, and intake valves. The fuel in the tank is pumped through all these components to eventually be burned in the engine. If any of these components fail or degrade significantly, the entire system fails.
So How Do Fuel System Cleaners Work?
The inconsistent quality of today’s gasoline and diesel fuels means it often contains dirt, sediment and other foreign substances that can build up in a fuel system requiring it to work harder and less efficiently. However, fuel system cleaners like Lucas Oil’s Deep Clean Fuel System Cleaner are specially formulated and contain a proprietary blend of cleaning agents and lubricants that remove built-up deposits throughout the fuel system, and provide valuable lubrication for moving parts like fuel pumps, injectors, and valves.
As soon as it’s poured into the fuel tank, it conditions the fuel to “clean as you drive” allowing fuel to flow more efficiently to create a more complete combustion process in the engine. Simply put, Lucas Oil’s entire line of fuel system products is like a “multivitamin for a vehicle,” helping to keep the fuel system clean, lubricated and operating at peak performance.
Benefits of Regular Fuel System Maintenance:
- Improves gas mileage
- Increases power
- Lowers emissions
- Improves throttle response
- Reduces misfires, knocking and hesitation
- Lubricates fuel pumps, injectors, valves, carburetors, and piston rings
- Reduces wear to help extend the life of critical fuel system components
When and How Often Should Fuel System Cleaners Be Used?
Just like daily multivitamins, Lucas Fuel System additives can be used with every fill up. It is recommended the fuel system maintenance process begins with a bottle of Lucas Oil Deep Fuel System Cleaner to start breaking down years of deposits on injectors, valves, and other components.
After the deep clean, it is recommended that Lucas Oil Upper Cylinder Lubricant or High Mileage Fuel Treatment be used with every fill up, or every few fill ups to continue the cleaning process and prevent deposits from building up. A bottle of Deep Clean Fuel System Cleaner is recommended once every three months to keep the fuel system operating in peak condition. Lucas Oil has several additional fuel system products that can be integrated into regular maintenance routine.
