How Long Do Fuel Injectors Last

The short answer is that the fuel injectors in your Cincinnati car should last a very long time. In fact, fuel injector manufacturers expect their products to last over 1 billion cycles. That is effectively the life of your car and you will, most likely, never have to have them replaced.

What will happen thought is that, over time, because the conditions you drive in are not ideal, your injectors will build carbon which will result in decreased fuel efficiency. Further, there is a significant amount of pollution in the air, and fuel can be contaminated with water, dirt particles and other debris. Bear in mind that injectors are designed and tested in factories where engineers recreate these types of conditions, however, there are always variables that come into play. For example, poor quality gasoline, stop and go traffic and the age and condition of your Cincinnati car – all of which can cause premature fuel injector failure.
