I quickly learned that carburetors have never been trouble-free and that the age-old problem of contaminated gas tanks, combined with the new problems associated with computer-controlled emissions systems, made vehicles even less trouble-free. To keep this simple and brief, I’ll focus on gasoline fuel system contamination from the aspects of the denial and aftermath, the sources, and the ways to “deal with it." Trouble-free fuel systems?Īs a young technician in the 1980s focused on driveability and electrical diagnostics, I saw plenty of fuel system contamination. Usually, the last advice we ever want to hear is “deal with it!”Īt the risk of some Motor Age readers flipping to the next article with that kind of intro, I’d like to address an age-old problem that you might think either doesn’t exist today or isn’t very common, “fuel system contamination.” More importantly, I’ll offer practical suggestions to help you deal with it. We’ve all faced doing a dirty job to fix a problem that we either denied existed or spent too much time complaining about.
