Show answer

Correct answer

  • CEl circuito de encendido y el de alimentación.The ignition and fuel supply circuits.

Excessive fuel consumption is usually caused by a fault in the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs, or in the fuel supply system, such as dirty filters or badly adjusted injection. That is why these are the first things to check.
