Fuel Saving Tip: Fuel System Cleaning Near Idaho Falls, ID
Posted June 8, 2011 12:00 PM
A lot of fuel is wasted in the Idaho Falls area by dirty fuel delivery systems in vehicles.
Let's start at the tank. The gas tank gathers dirt, rust and sediment over the years. That's why there's a fuel filter to clean the fuel after it leaves the tank. A dirty filter will rob the engine of the clean gas it needs to run efficiently.
The fuel intake components get coated with gum and varnish over time. This results in fuel being delivered inefficiently and some of that gunk getting into the engine. A fuel system service at All Things Automotive & Diesel Service will leave your intake components as clean as a whistle.
The big fuel thief is dirty fuel injectors. They deliver fuel to the engine at a specified pressure and in a particular spray pattern. When they're clogged, the fuel doesn't get atomized the way it's supposed to and doesn't get burned as efficiently.
See your owner's manual or ask your Idaho Falls service advisor at All Things Automotive & Diesel Service when a fuel system cleaning is recommended.

Finding Vehicle Recall Information in Idaho Falls, ID
Posted June 2, 2011 12:00 PM
No matter how well they're made, vehicles in Idaho Falls, ID, will have design or manufacturing problems.
And when the government thinks a problem is really serious for people in Idaho Falls, ID, they require the manufacturer to issue a recall notice and fix the vehicle free of charge. The manufacturer then tries to contact everyone in ID who owns that type of vehicle to get the recall work done. Perhaps you have received a postcard notifying you of a recall. The government has links on its websites, or just visit AutoNetTV for links. There are many websites with free recall information and searches. There's CarFax, AutoByTel and the DMV.
Recalls are serious but not all that common. Sometimes there are fewer issues, and for these, manufacturers issue a Technical Service Bulletin, or TSB, that tells service centers like All Things Automotive & Diesel Service how to repair a frequent or difficult problem.
The pros get updated information through subscription plans, also available in consumer versions for a reasonable cost. So when recalls occur, get the work done, and keep you and yours safe.
