How Many Kilometers Should You Replace the Fuel Filter?
1 Answers
Under normal usage conditions, the fuel filter should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. Below are the hazards of not replacing the fuel filter for an extended period: 1. If the fuel filter is not replaced for a long time, its filtering efficiency will decline, allowing many impurities to pass through the filter into the cylinders. This accelerates carbon buildup in the cylinders, leading to poor fuel flow, insufficient fuel pressure, incomplete combustion, reduced vehicle power, increased fuel consumption, and more carbon deposits. 2. The built-in fuel filter is installed on the fuel pump, located inside the fuel tank and constantly submerged in gasoline. This type of filter has a long lifespan and typically requires replacement only after about 100,000 kilometers. 3. The replacement interval for the fuel filter is highly dependent on fuel quality. High-quality fuel contains relatively fewer impurities, so the filter gets dirty more slowly. If low-quality fuel with more impurities is used, the filter will become dirty faster. 4. Currently, the fuel quality at domestic gas stations is generally not high. Consider using fuel additives regularly to clean the fuel system, prevent or reduce carbon buildup, improve fuel quality, and extend the lifespan of the engine and its components.
