Fuel System

When your fuel system malfunctions, you’re headed for trouble—even small fuel system problems can quickly devolve into issues requiring major repairs. So whether it’s time for a fuel pump replacement or a routine fuel induction service, come see the team at Virginia Tire & Auto for fuel system repairs you can trust!

Fuel system components include a fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors and fuel lines. These components work together to move fuel from your gas tank to the engine, where fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine’s combustion chambers. Spark plugs then ignite the fuel, causing small explosions that power the engine and move the car.

If your vehicle’s fuel system is broken, you’ll be going nowhere fast. Each piece of the fuel system is critical. If one part stops working, your engine won’t run and you’ll be stuck on the side of the road. But when your fuel system is working well, it helps your car burn fuel efficiently, giving you better fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Signs that your vehicle needs fuel system repair include:

  • Difficulty starting the engine or accelerating
  • Stalling
  • Decreased fuel economy
  • Intermittent power loss
  • Whirring or droning sound from the gas tank area
  • Illuminated check engine light
  • Rough idling
  • Engine knocking
  • Excessive smoke coming from the engine
  • Noticeable fuel odors

Fuel System Cleaning 

Many fuel-related issues can be solved by a simple fuel induction service.

Over time, carbon deposits caused by impurities in the fuel build up in the fuel injection system. Like blockages in your blood vessels keep blood from flowing, these deposits inhibit the flow of fuel.

When this happens, your engine doesn’t get the fuel it needs to run at peak performance. And if there’s too much buildup, you could end up with damaged parts and a vehicle that won’t run.

Running fuel injector cleaner through the system helps remove these deposits and residue, improving your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency.
