Ford Fuel system clean

Does My Ford Need a Fuel System Clean?

Ford’s can get a build-up of dirt, grime and carbon deposits inside the fuel system. A fuel system clean is similar to a fuel injector clean except it’s a more powerful clean for the system. A fuel system clean can remove water and fuel deposits, clean and lubricate injectors, valves, rings, cylinder heads and combustion chambers on a Ford. The Ford’s throttle body and throttle plate/butterfly valve will typically be cleaned of dirt and grime at the same time.

A professional mechanic may take 30 mins to 2 hours to carry out a fuel system clean. The time depends on how thorough the clean is and how long it takes to run the cleaner through the Ford’s system. 

If the fuel system clean is performed as a regular maintenance task then the cost won’t be too high, but if the vehicle has a history of performance issues, then more time may be needed to assess the Ford’s fuel system. The cost can range from 10’s of dollars and move up into the hundreds to clean the fuel system.

If a Ford has had the wrong fuel added to the fuel tank or someone vandalised the Ford by putting a foreign substance into the fuel tank and it was then driven, an entire fuel system clean will need to be carried out. The Ford would need to be towed to a workshop and a mechanic would need to assess the damage and quote the repair based on the work involved.
