Fuel Filter-Many Autos

The fuel filter is one of the most important components of a modern combustion engine. They ensure that only clean fuel is sent to the engine by removing dirt, debris and other contaminants. Modern fuel systems are very sensitive to contaminants in the fuel and even the smallest particle can cause expensive damage by eroding the fuel pump, valves or injectors. Fuel filters also maximise performance as clean fuel burns more efficiently. It is recommended that the fuel filter is changed every 25,000 to 30,000 miles

  2. FUEL FILTER  The fuel filter is one of the most important components of a modern combustion engine. They ensure that only clean fuel is sent to the engine by removing dirt, debris and other contaminants. Modern fuel systems are very sensitive to contaminants in the fuel and even the smallest particle can cause expensive damage by eroding the fuel pump, valves or injectors. Fuel filters also maximise performance as clean fuel burns more efficiently. It is recommended that the fuel filter is changed every 25,000 to 30,000 miles.

  3. BENEFITS OF REGULARLY CHANGING FUEL FILTERS  The most noticeable benefit of a clean fuel filter is engine performance. Modern high-precision fuel systems have very little tolerance to impurities in the fuel.  Clean fuel injectors spray a precise amount of fuel into the intake manifold. Impurities in the fuel can easily block or destroy one of these injectors. Replacing a fuel filter according to manufacturer’s guidelines can prevent this and prolong the life of such engine components.  An engine can misfire due to an incorrect fuel to air mixture, as mentioned above, a clogged or ineffective fuel filter can restrict the amount of fuel to the engine leading to an air heavy mixture.

  4. SYMPTOMS OF A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER  When a fuel filter becomes clogged the fuel pump must work harder to pump sufficient fuel into the engine. A clogged fuel filter is more noticeable when the demand for fuel is higher than normal i.e. when driving up a hill or during acceleration. The fuel pump is put under increased pressure as it attempts to bring more fuel from a clogged and restrictive fuel filter

  5. WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT?  Over time, a fuel filter can get rather dirty, clog up or fail completely. There will be a reduced flow of fuel towards the engine or, in extreme cases, dirty fuel will pass through the filter and onto the engine. Eventually, a fuel filter that does not work correctly can lead to further damage. Should you experience problems with the fuel supply, then it is advisable to have the fuel filter inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced. Seeing that the fuel filter is a component that is especially prone to wear it should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the servicing guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.
