How Often Should the Car Fuel Filter Be Replaced?

[VanGeorge]

Car fuel filters should be replaced approximately every 60,000 kilometers. When replacing the fuel filter, avoid choosing inferior quality ones. Inferior fuel filters use poor-quality filter materials, which not only have poor filtration performance but can also clog the fuel lines with prolonged use, leading to insufficient fuel pressure and preventing the vehicle from starting. Fuel filters are categorized into carburetor type and electronic injection type. For gasoline engines using carburetors, the fuel filter is located on the inlet side of the fuel pump, operating under lower pressure, and typically features a nylon housing. For engines with electronic injection, the fuel filter is located on the outlet side of the fuel pump, operating under higher pressure, and usually has a metal housing.
