How often should the gasoline filter be replaced in a new car?
1 Answers
The gasoline filter in a new car should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. The gasoline filter, also known as the fuel filter, is primarily used to remove impurities from gasoline. There are two types: carburetor-style and fuel injection-style. If the fuel quality is poor and contains a high amount of impurities, it can damage components such as the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and fuel lines in the engine, thereby affecting the normal operation of the fuel system. The gasoline filter can filter out solid impurities like iron oxide and dust, as well as water, from the gasoline. This not only reduces the likelihood of fuel injectors getting clogged by impurities but also ensures the quality of gasoline flowing into the fuel system, optimizing engine performance and providing protection for the engine.
