Speedyfix: Gas/fuel tank cleaning inquiry

**Kidd636** · May 1st, 2004 11:19 AM

speedyfix,

is it really necessary na magpalinis ng gas/fuel tank ang mga newer cars after sometime? may nakapapsabi kasi sa akin na ang mga dapat lang nililinis ay yung mga old diesel cars na metal pa yung tank... yung mga newer cars raw kasi plastic na ang tank...

if yes, how much po singil niyo sa pag linis ng gas/fuel tank and fuel lines ng 1997 Toyota Corona Exsior?

gaano po katagal na trabaho ito?

what's the name, address and contact no. of your shop?

thanks!

thanks wrecker!

kidd636, may problem ba yung auto mo? if wala kasi then no need to clean the tank. do you replace the fuel filter often? do you fill up in a reliable gas station? if so then no need to clean the tank.

we only remove the gas if there has been contaminationby having water in the fuel. without removing the tank kasi there is no way to get all of the water out.

in any case, i'll be back after the elections and you could still contact my mechanics in the shop at 7237625. TY!

wala naman pong problem sir... i got this car 2nd hand kasi... and i'm reconditioning it right now... so sort of preventive maintenance lang, hindi ko kasi alam totally ang history nung car...

...but so far it is running great, very smooth... no signs of fuel startvation or fuel ireggularity problems. i just replaced the fuel filter too, and as much as possible i stick to tried and tested Petron gas stations... XCS gamit ko

in that case no need to remove the tank

just continue taking care of it and wala ka magiging problema

why not try draining if yourself muna (may drain hole sa ilalim ng tank). Then check if there are rust or water sa gas na naidrain mo.

Kung meron, at tsaka mo ipababa, if wala, then just re-fill it up na lang.

pwede rin ito pero normally di mo malalabas lahat ng liquid sa loob kasi there are baffles sa tank. anyway, it's the best 1st step kahit papano

Speedyfix: Is your shop open on sundays? Do you replace fuel filter? Also do you sell fuel filter for Mitsu Adv? naka 35K Kms na ako when do you suggest replacing a fuel filter? thanks.

**speedyfix** · May 12th, 2004 05:36 AM

sorry, monday to saturday lang kami from 9am-6pm.

you should probably consider replacing the fuel filter during your next PMS para sabay na sa changeoil and tuneup

**ILuvDetailing** · May 12th, 2004 10:22 AM

Sir, where is your shop located? Kailangan ba ng appointment para mag pa tune up? I just put Mobil 1 Fully Syn, so my next oil change would probobly be on the 43K Kms range. Ok lang ba yun?
