When it comes to the performance of your vehicle's engine, the fuel system plays a vital role. It controls the flow of gasoline (or diesel) from the gas tank to the engine, while at the same time filtering out harmful dirt and debris that can hinder internal combustion.

If it is not addressed, it can potentially lead to even more significant engine damage over time.

However, none need to be done as frequently as the engine oil, which really is the lifeblood of any vehicle. Your engine has many moving parts that are working at very high speeds.
