Does Your Fuel System Need to be Repaired?

Fuel system issues can look like a variety of problems, from engine trouble to temperature spikes. Learn the signs you need fuel system repair below.

Symptoms of Fuel System Problems

Fuel system issues can seem related to many different parts of your car, so it’s important to be on the lookout for signs. You may have fuel system problems if you experience any of the following:

• Temperature spikes in your engine

• Engine sputtering

• Losing power in a low gear

• Rises or drops in fuel pressure gauge

• Difficulty driving uphill

• Changes in speed without accelerator input

• Inability to turn over the ignition

• A significant drop in fuel economy

Fuel Treatments are Not a Quick Fix

When you first start noticing fuel system issues, you may think a fuel treatment is a fast and simple solution. But in reality fuel treatments are not designed to fix system problems — they simply clean the dirt in your filter or injectors. This is great for routine maintenance, but will do nothing to help with actual issues with your fuel system. So if you’re experiencing any of the problems above, put down the fuel treatment and have your vehicle inspected by a certified technician.
