Getting adequate fuel to your engine is very important for performance, fuel economy and safety. In order to accomplish this, your fuel system needs to be clean.
Today's production cars have fuel injectors, rather than a carburetor. The injectors need to be cleaned from time to time in order to deliver the fuel with the correct pressure, spray pattern and volume.
Joliet drivers can buy fuel system cleaners that you pour into your gas tank to help maintain an already clean fuel system; however, they can't do a major cleaning. For that, you need to see Tuffy Joliet (South Plainfield) in Joliet. We have the tools and chemicals to do the job right. Our friendly and knowledgeable team at Tuffy Joliet (South Plainfield) can remove particles, gum and varnish from your fuel system and get those injectors running cleanly and efficiently.
You'll find Tuffy Joliet (South Plainfield) at 2031 SR 59 in Joliet, Illinois 60586. Or just give us a call at 815-436-1829 to schedule an appointment.
