The symptoms of a clogged diesel fuel filter include insufficient fuel supply to the engine, decreased engine power, reduced vehicle performance, and lower speed. The function of the diesel fuel filter is to filter out impurities such as iron oxide, dust, harmful particles, and moisture in the diesel fuel, protecting components like the fuel injectors, cylinder liners, and piston rings. It prevents fuel system blockages, reduces wear on engine components, and ensures stable engine operation. The main roles of the diesel fuel filter are: 1. Filtering impurities from the diesel fuel; 2. Preventing fuel injector clogging and maintaining smooth fuel flow. Steps to replace the diesel fuel filter: 1. Close the inlet valve of the filter, unscrew the end cover bolts, and open the end cover; 2. Open the drain valve to completely drain the contaminated fuel; 3. Loosen the tightening nut at the top of the filter and remove the old filter vertically; 4. After replacing the filter, close the drain valve and secure the end cover with bolts.
