What is the Function of a Fuel Filter?
1 Answers
The function of a fuel filter is to remove solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel, preventing blockages in the fuel system (especially the fuel injectors), thereby reducing mechanical wear, ensuring stable engine operation, and improving reliability. The following is an introduction to fuel filters: 1. Fuel filters are categorized into diesel filters, gasoline filters, and natural gas filters. 2. The replacement interval for a fuel filter should be determined based on its structure, performance, and intended use. Most automobile manufacturers recommend a normal maintenance replacement interval of 48,000 kilometers, while a conservative maintenance replacement interval is recommended at 19,200 to 24,000 kilometers.
