Your Injectors Need To Be Cleaned!

By Jackson Cure • April 8, 2025

Today’s fuel injected gasoline engines, while more efficient and powerful than ever, are incredibly susceptible to the buildup of carbon deposits. The combination of high heat and high compression in a modern engine creates the perfect environment for carbon deposits to build. Over time, these deposits can rob your vehicle of fuel efficiency and power. With proper maintenance, this issue can be solved to keep your vehicle running like it just came off the factory line. General Motors and Ford even added fuel system cleaning to their factory-recommended maintenance last year, and more manufacturers are sure to follow. At the Mechanics Tire and Auto, we offer the BG Platinum® Fuel System Service from BG Products to fight carbon deposits in your engine. This service uses an additive in the fuel tank as well as a metered spray of cleaner directly into your engine. This process propels cleaner across all cylinders in the engine to eliminate carbon deposits from intake valves, fuel injectors and other interior surfaces of your engine. This is the most complete fuel system service on the market. After a BG Platinum® Fuel System Service is performed, you will notice the restoration of power and fuel economy to your vehicle. The picture above shows engine valves before and after a Platinum Fuel System Service, and the difference is monumental. BG Products recommends a fuel system service once a year, or every 15,000 miles, while Ford and General Motors recommend this service every 20,000 miles. When performed regularly, this fuel system service will save you plenty of money on gas and potentially thousands of dollars in repairs! Come see us today to schedule a BG Platinum® Fuel System Service for your car.
