What is the method for replacing the gasoline filter element of the Haval H6?
3 Answers
Haval H6 gasoline filter element replacement method is: 1. Locate the gasoline filter element near the right rear wheel of the car; 2. Press and remove the clip; 3. Loosen the screw fixing the filter element and remove the element; 4. Install the new filter element, tighten the fixing screw, and reinstall the clip. The function of the gasoline filter element is to filter out water and impurities in the gasoline, preventing them from entering the fuel injector and cylinder, thereby protecting the fuel supply system and engine. Taking the 2021 1.5T manual urban version Haval H6 as an example, its body dimensions are: 4600mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, and a body weight of 1675kg.
I have hands-on experience replacing the gasoline filter for the Haval H6. Preparation is crucial: park on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait at least 30 minutes for the fuel to cool. Wear gloves and protective gear. Tools needed include a socket wrench or screwdriver, a new filter (model-matched for the Haval H6, such as M1—choose OEM or high-quality products), and an oil drip pan. Locate the filter—usually near the fuel tank under the chassis; lift the floor mat or crawl underneath to find it. When removing the old filter, be careful with the fuel line connections to avoid damage and leaks. Wipe the connection area clean with a cloth after removal. Before installing the new filter, ensure the seal is properly seated and press firmly. Start the engine to check for any fuel leakage sounds. I recommend replacing it every 20,000–40,000 km to maintain clean fuel filtration and prevent issues like engine shaking or increased fuel consumption. However, beginners should seek assistance or professional guidance to avoid fire risks, as gasoline is highly volatile and flammable—safety first!
I always prioritize safety when replacing the fuel filter myself. The Haval H6's filter is mostly located in the middle-rear section of the chassis. Before operation, always disconnect the car key to avoid static electricity igniting gasoline—even turning off the phone. Keep a fire extinguisher ready just in case. The removal and installation steps may seem simple: first, use a wrench to loosen the fuel pipe clamp, pour the residual oil from the old filter into a basin after removal, then check the rubber gasket for damage before installing the new filter. Before starting the vehicle, check for leaks at the connections, and recheck after a short drive. Don’t forget the maintenance cycle: in areas with poor fuel quality, it’s best to replace it earlier to prevent impurities from clogging the fuel pump and increasing repair costs. Non-experts should opt for professional shops for safety, as working under the chassis carries a risk of falls. This component directly affects engine lifespan, so don’t invite big trouble over small matters.
