Overview Of Fuel System Maintenance

The vehicles fuel system works with engine system to deliver clean
fuel that will produce the lowest emission.
The sole purpose of fuel system is to
 store fuel,
 clean the fuel and
 send to combustion chamber where it mixes with air and
produces energy

Tank Lines filter Pumps Injector
Gas Tank : It holds the deposited gas or
fuel..
Fuel Lines : Fuel line is full of hoses that will transfer the
fuel from the tank to engine
Fuel Injectors : They have tiny nozzles to spray the
fuel into cylinder for combustion.

How To Maintain The Fuel System In A
Proper Way ?
Use Clean Fuel
In contaminated fuel, you will find extra water and
drill that can cause clogging in the fuel tank if
properly not taken care of.
If you are uncertain about the fuel quality that you are
purchasing, then you must filter it out by taking the fuel in a
different way like a fuel jar etc…
Keep the fuel pump out of water
The fuel has always maintained a percentage of water mixed
with it, but when there is an extra droplet of water found, it
can cause damage to the cylinder directly.
The contaminated fuel can cause this error and
also create condensation inside the fuel tank
 Sometimes the contaminated fuel can affect the head
gasket or the fitting, so one must inspect and replace it
asap for better gas mileage.
Algae Prevention
The algae formation can cause by both water and fuel
inside the tank.
Always use a biocide in oil that will prevent the
formation of fungus and algae…
Fuel tank care
Always make sure to clean the fuel tank as sometimes the
small dirt, water and algae etc can damage the injector
pump or the engine.
It’s always advisable to clean the fuel tank periodically to
reduce the algae or debris formation
Fuel line selection
Always make sure to select the fuel line
as per owner’s manual.
The metal fuel lines can cause
deterioration and fuel contamination in
the fuel hoses.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter in diesel engine called secondary filter as
it filters out the small contaminations that can pass
from primary filter
You must inspect the filters on a daily basis and
make sure to replace when they are dirty.
