Fuel economy isn't far from the minds of our Flagstaff drivers and we hear these questions daily such as: Why can certain cars zip along at close to 40 mpg while others are lucky to get anywhere near 20?

Your car’s fuel system works with the rest of the engine control system to deliver the best performance with the lowest emissions. Check your car’s fuel system regularly or immediately if you smell gas or suspect a problem.

What does it do? - The fuel system transfers fuel from the fuel tank and passes it through a fuel filter for straining before it arrives at the injectors. A pressure regulator controls fuel pressure to ensure good engine performance under a variety of speed and load conditions. Fuel injectors, when activated, spray a metered amount of fuel into the engine. Some vehicles use a return line system to return unused fuel back to the tank.

These guys are awesome!!! I'm from Indiana, my sons car broke down while on vacation and these guys went out of their way to get him going again. Changed out a faulty fuel pump on a Saturday after spending the time to locate the needed part. Went above and beyond by working on their day off. Could not be happier with this shop and staff. Hard to find folks as honest and accommodating like these. Thanks again gents!!
