Fuel Saving Tip: Fuel System Cleaning Near Nocatee Florida

February 11, 2016



A lot of gas is wasted in the Nocatee area by dirty fuel delivery systems.

Let's start at the tank. The gas tank gathers dirt, rust and sediment over the years. That's why there's a fuel filter to clean the fuel after it leaves the tank. A dirty filter will rob the engine of the clean gas it needs to run efficiently.

Tuffy St. Johns Fuel System Cleaning The fuel intake components get coated with gum and varnish over time. This results in fuel being delivered inefficiently and some of that gunk getting into the engine. A fuel system service at Tuffy St. Johns will leave your intake as clean as a whistle.

See your owner's manual or ask your Nocatee service advisor at Tuffy St. Johns when a fuel system cleaning is recommended.
