Fuel Induction Cleaning Service in Johnson City, TN
When a Fuel Induction cleaning service is performed it can clean up the deposits and bring back some of the fuel mileage and performance. If your vehicle is not running as good as it should, bring it in to American & Import Auto Repair and let us diagnose it to see what might be the issue. If the engine is not running smooth, it may need a fuel induction service. We can look over your vehicle and see if it might need a fuel induction cleaning.
What is a Fuel Induction Service?
This is where the fuel system of your vehicle is cleaned of carbon and other debris that can build up over time. We use a chemical fogger to mist BG chemicals into the induction system, not just to clean the fuel injector but the whole system. We also put a can of industrial strength cleaner in the gas tank to continue to clean and get rid of the debris that have broken loose and continue through the system. We use the fuel induction service kit from BG Chemicals (BG Fuel injector/induction cleaner). This can cause enough of a change in fuel trim to turn the check engine light on. This is not a bad thing it just means that the induction system is working and the ECM (your computer) is seeing a big change in the fuel system.
The fuel induction service will clean the entire system so that all deposits are removed. The service also includes cleaning the cylinder heads and intake valves for maximum efficiency. Because the deposits are removed, the emissions from the exhaust system are reduced as well.
The service ensures that your fuel system is cleaned and restores the efficiency of the engine back to its original condition. Plus, it helps to extend the life of the engine, improve the overall performance, and return the original fuel economy of your vehicle. If you do not have the fuel system cleaned, the clogging of the fuel system continues which further reduces the overall performance of then engine over time.
Symptoms
So, how do you know if you need fuel induction service? There are several symptoms that will slowly start to appear in the performance of the engine. We recommend that you have an Induction service done every 25,000 mile or at the first sign of symptoms.
- Bad fuel economy

Under normal driving conditions, it takes time for the deposits to build up in the fuel induction system. And, depending on several factors, including the quality of gas you use, your engine may need the service either more frequently or less frequently. Your driving conditions and type of driving you do affects how often you need a fuel induction service.
