The vehicles fuel system works with engine system to deliver clean
fuel that will produce the lowest emission.
The sole purpose of fuel system is to
store fuel,
clean the fuel and
send to combustion chamber where it mixes with air and
produces energy
Gas Tank
Fuel Lines
Fuel filter
Fuel Pumps
Fuel Injector
Gas Tank : It holds the deposited gas or
fuel..
Fuel Lines : Fuel line is full of hoses that will transfer the
fuel from the tank to engine
Fuel Injectors : They have tiny nozzles to spray the fuel into cylinder for combustion.

How To Maintain The Fuel System In A
Proper Way ?
Use Clean Fuel
In contaminated fuel, you will find extra water and
drill that can cause clogging in the fuel tank if
properly not taken care of.
If you are uncertain about the fuel quality that you are purchasing, then you must filter it out by taking the fuel in a different way like a fuel jar etc…
Keep the fuel pump out of water
The fuel has always maintained a percentage of water mixed with it, but when there is an extra droplet of water found, it can cause damage to the cylinder directly.
The contaminated fuel can cause this error and also create condensation inside the fuel tank
Sometimes the contaminated fuel can affect the head gasket or the fitting, so one must inspect and replace it
asap for better gas mileage.
Algae Prevention
The algae formation can cause by both water and fuel inside the tank.
Always use a biocide in oil that will prevent the formation of fungus and algae…
Fuel tank care
Always make sure to clean the fuel tank as sometimes the small dirt, water and algae etc can damage the injector
pump or the engine.
It’s always advisable to clean the fuel tank periodically to reduce the algae or debris formation
Fuel line selection
Always make sure to select the fuel line as per owner’s manual.
The metal fuel lines can cause deterioration and fuel contamination in the fuel hoses.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter in diesel engine called secondary filter as it filters out the small contaminations that can pass from primary filter
