Fuel System

One of the most frustrating situations a car owner may experience is showing up to a gas station with a car with a stuck gas cap cover or fuel door.

Over the last couple of decades, the United States has been trying to keep up with the changes in emissions and fuel efficiency laws due to changes in most modern cars.

Fuel systems are always maintained under pressure whether the engine is running or not.

If the fuel meter on your auto has stopped measuring fuel levels it is most likely broken.

The fuel pump relay helps your vehicle start the car by pressurizing the fuel system for the first few seconds before the oil pressure’s level takes over.

The easiest way to distribute a liquid or vapor through any propulsion system is to ensure that the system is clean and free of obstructions.

Today's fuel injected cars depend on a fully-functional and clean throttle body to supply an air/fuel mixture to each cylinder.

The fuel pump shut off switch is designed to disengage the power to the fuel pump when a vehicle comes to an instant stop.

A fuel rail pressure sensor is a component which has the ability to reduce evaporative emissions by allowing the engine just enough fuel so that it can run in the correct way.

The fuel filler cap secures the entry to the fuel tank of a vehicle and it is made of metal or plastic.

Every vehicle is equipped with a fuel gauge to tell the driver how much fuel is left in the fuel tank.

A carburetor’s function is to meter incoming air, mix the appropriate amount of fuel with that air, and deliver the mixture to the engine.

Every driver occasionally lets their gas tank get low enough to trigger the low fuel warning light.

Adding a fuel additive to your gas tank when you fill up is one way to clean vital engine parts of deposits, improve the performance of your engine, and increase gas mileage.

Dirty fuel injectors are a common problem for many vehicles in this day in age.

We all want our car to go longer on a single tank of gas.

While all modern cars use computer-controlled fuel distribution systems, there are still many vehicles on the road that employ the traditional carbureted method of fuel delivery.

Your vehicle is propelled by a combustion engine.

Virtually all vehicles equipped with gasoline engines are equipped with fuel filters that are meant to filter out any dirt or debris that could contaminate the fuel system or damage the components, and possibly even the engine.

In order for the fuel system in a car to operate properly, it will need to have the right amount of pressure.
