The fuel that is in your gas tank has to be delivered to various places in the engine in order to be burned and used to power the car. Making sure fuel is delivered properly should be something you take very seriously. Normally, the fuel from the tank passes through pipelines to the fuel injectors for dispersal. Each of the cylinders in the engine will have a dedicated fuel injector. The fuel will be distributed in the form of a fine mist, which greatly facilitates its use and combustion in the combustion process. Every time you start the engine and start the engine, the fuel injector will be used to provide the engine with the power it needs to run.

The fuel injectors on your car typically last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles. Injector life is largely dependent on the type of gasoline used in the vehicle and how often the various fuel filters are changed. The use of lower quality gasoline usually results in clogged fuel injectors. There are a number of injector treatments on the market that can help break down these types of deposits. In the end, even treatment will not be able to return the nozzles to good shape, and they will need to be replaced. A faulty injector can cause damage to the engine and will need to be replaced immediately to restore performance.
