Fuel System Cleaning the Professional Way at Spartan Tire Brighton
February 25, 2016

It can even lead to costly repair bills for Brighton drivers. So keep your fuel system clean as 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.
