How Often Should the Fuel Filter in a Car Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The fuel filter in a car should be replaced approximately every 60,000 kilometers. The fuel filter, also known as the fuel strainer, functions to remove iron oxide, dust, and solid debris contained in the fuel, preventing blockages in the fuel system, reducing mechanical wear, ensuring stable engine operation, and improving reliability. The steps to replace the fuel filter are as follows: 1. Release the residual pressure in the fuel system. 2. Remove the grounding wire near the fuel filter. 3. Place a basin beneath the filter. 4. Pull out the inlet fuel line and then remove the adjacent outlet fuel line. 5. Remove the old fuel filter to complete the replacement. Precautions for replacing the fuel filter include: 1. Ensure the overall sealing of the air filter and cabin air filter. 2. Use the gasoline grade specified by the car manufacturer.
