 Fouling is worsened by running the engine at less than full temperature, which vandwellers may encounter when [[electrical:12v:alternator#effect_on_gdi_engines|idling for long periods]] to [[electrical:12v:alternator|charge from the alternator]].  Using known-quality fuels with minimal contaminants may help minimize the deposits.  Fouling is worsened by running the engine at less than full temperature, which vandwellers may encounter when [[electrical:12v:alternator#effect_on_gdi_engines|idling for long periods]] to [[electrical:12v:alternator|charge from the alternator]].  Using known-quality fuels with minimal contaminants may help minimize the deposits.

 > The port fuel injection was partly added due to the fuel output needs on the 3.5L HO Raptor engine, but also has several benefits for the 3.5L EcoBoost. It will prevent buildup on the intake valves and keep them clean due to fuel passing over the valves. Under certain engine conditions such as low rpm and low loads the high-pressure fuel pump and direct injection system will turn off and the engine will only use the port fuel injection((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_EcoBoost_engine#3.5L_D35_(second_generation)) > The port fuel injection was partly added due to the fuel output needs on the 3.5L HO Raptor engine, but also has several benefits for the 3.5L EcoBoost.
