Q: Fuel injector and tank cleaning 2015 Ford Focus
I've recently received a letter from my dealer recommending some work my car may need. While some seem reasonable (like replacing the windshield wipers), I don't know what to think about a suggestion to clean my fuel injector and tank. Is it really required in a car slightly older than one year and what may happen, if I don't do it? I'd really appreciate any help regarding this topic.
All the best, Pawel Winogrodzki
