It can even lead to costly repair bills for Reno and Sparks drivers. Keeping your fuel system clean is an important part of your routine preventive maintenance.

Fuel injectors have replaced carburetors in most of today’s vehicles. These injectors deliver better fuel economy than a carburetor, but they can be compromised by rust, dirt, and other contaminants. They need to be clean to maintain the correct pressure, spray pattern, and volume of delivered fuel so the engine can run at peak efficiency.
