how can I improve fuel economy on my Ford F-150 13th Generation (2015-2020)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during electrical inspections.

2. Tire Maintenance

• Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor.
• Check each tire's pressure and inflate them to the recommended PSI found in the owner’s manual.
• Rotate tires if uneven wear is detected to ensure balanced performance.

3. Air Filter Replacement

• Tools Required: Screwdriver or socket set (depending on air filter housing).
• Remove the air filter housing cover.
• Take out the old air filter and inspect for dirt and debris.
• Install a new air filter, ensuring it fits tightly and seals properly.

4. Fuel System Cleaning

• Tools Required: Fuel system cleaner (additive), funnel (if needed).
• Add a fuel system cleaner to the gas tank according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Drive the vehicle for a few hours to allow the cleaner to circulate through the fuel system.

5. Spark Plug Inspection

• Tools Required: Socket set, spark plug gap tool.
• Remove the ignition coils and spark plugs.
• Inspect each spark plug for wear; replace with OEM or equivalent parts as necessary.
• Ensure proper gap settings per the manufacturer’s specifications before reinstalling.
