Fuel Induction System & Maintenance
The fuel induction system delivers the air-fuel mix into the engine's combustion chamber. For thousands of miles, it delivers a significant fuel volume that tends to sponsor unwanted particulates. The fuel injectors are at the end of the fuel induction system with the narrowest passage. They are susceptible to carbon accumulation that chokes the engine of the air-fuel mix that it needs to generate power efficiently. Fuel induction service is about cleaning the system including the fuel injectors to ensure the proper flow of air-fuel mix into the engine.
Fuel Induction Service Overview
Service is completed by a certified technician using specialized fuel induction cleaning equipment. The equipment is connected to the fuel induction system with a high-end solvent used to remove carbon from within. This will remove carbon from the fuel injectors, lines, and throttle body. Any performance troubles that brought you in for service will be fixed as the carbon blockage is removed from the system.
Dirty Fuel Induction Warning Signs

How Often Is Fuel Induction Cleaning Needed?
The average vehicle will benefit from fuel induction cleaning service every 60,000 miles. But also know that this is a general recommendation given across all Ford models. If you drive a hard-working Ford F-150 or F-350 in dirty environments with diesel fuel, you might need more frequent fuel induction cleaning to efficiently keep your engine firing.
