Understanding the Fuel System
The fuel system is a vital part of your vehicle’s engine. Its primary function is to store and supply fuel to the engine for combustion. The fuel system includes several key components: the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel injectors, fuel lines, and fuel filter. Each component plays a crucial role in delivering clean, high-pressure fuel to the engine. If any part of the fuel system fails, it can lead to a range of issues, from poor performance to complete engine failure.
