How Many Kilometers Should a Fuel Filter Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Generally, externally mounted fuel filters require replacement every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, while filters integrated with the fuel pump should be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Below are potential issues that may arise from not replacing the fuel filter for an extended period: 1. Severe decrease in vehicle power and engine shaking while driving: A clogged fuel filter can result in low fuel supply pressure, reducing engine power. It may also lower the fuel injection pressure, leading to a lean air-fuel mixture, incomplete combustion, and symptoms like engine shaking during driving. 2. Idle shaking: As the fuel filter begins to clog gradually, it can cause insufficient fuel pressure and supply, leading to shaking at idle.
