Reading Auto Repair

Modern vehicles rely on precise fuel delivery systems to ensure efficient combustion, responsive acceleration, and clean emissions. For decades, carburetors were the standard way to mix air and fuel before it entered the engine. Today, nearly all vehicles use fuel injection instead. But both systems still require periodic maintenance to run properly. If you're unsure how these systems differ or what kind of service they require, here's a breakdown of how they work and why service is important. Carburetors: The Old-School Fuel Delivery Method Carburetors were once the heart of every gasoline-powered engine. They work by mixing air and fuel in a chamber using a vacuum created by the engine’s intake. As air flows through the carburetor, fuel is pulled from the float bowl and mixed with the incoming air before entering the combustion chamber. While relatively simple, carburetors are mechanically complex and rely heavily on physical adjustments and moving ... read more
