What is the physical indication if the fuel filter becomes clogged?
A clogged fuel filter will have high pressure on its input side and low pressure on its output side. They are both going to cause the same hesitation at high speed and difficulty starting. The only way to truly tell is to place a fuel pressure gauge on both sides of the line and get a reading from both.
What happens when fuel injectors go bad in Ford Fusion?
There are two main ways that your injectors can go bad. The first is for them to become clogged, dirty, or unresponsive. When this happens not enough fuel enters into your Fusion’s combustion chamber. The other way is if the injectors are leaking. When they leak, they can really do some damage.

What happens if a fuel injector fails the reluctance test?
If they fail the reluctance test they are deemed irreparable. The fuel injectors are pressurised to +/- 45 psi /3 bar and visually checked for pintle, ball or disc seat leaks. Spray patterns are checked for atomization and distribution. Finally a flow test is done to determine the amount of fuel delivered.
How does a fuel injector flush process work?
The process involves flushing cleaning chemicals through the fuel injectors in the hopes of clearing out debris and ultimately improving fuel flow. This service has stirred up a bit of controversy, with some claiming that a fuel injection flush is not worth the effort.

As a repair type of service, a fuel injection flush is not very effective unless the problem is specifically debris in or around the fuel injectors. Once the injector is malfunctioning then it is likely too late.
Why do fuel injectors clog the fuel filter?
Over time, this residue can reduce how much fuel the injector can deliver to the engine. Residue and impurities in fuel cause the injectors to clog as well. This is less common if the gas is from a modern gas pump and the fuel filter is functioning properly. Corrosion in the fuel system can clog the injectors too.
How does an ultrasonic fuel injector RX work?
Injector RX uses manufacturer approved equipment and an ultrasonic fuel injector cleaning process to clean fuel injectors. Once cleaned the fuel injectors are flow tested to confirm that they spray correctly and deliver the right amount of fuel.
