What is the replacement interval for a gasoline filter?
1 Answers
Gasoline filters should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. The gasoline filter is located on the inlet side of the fuel pump, operating under relatively low pressure, and typically features a nylon housing. In fuel-injected engines, the gasoline filter is situated on the outlet side of the fuel pump, where it operates under higher pressure and usually has a metal housing. Most gasoline filters use filter paper, though some employ nylon mesh or polymer materials, with their primary function being to remove impurities from the gasoline. A dirty or clogged gasoline filter primarily manifests as: sluggish or unresponsive acceleration when pressing the throttle, difficulty starting the car, and sometimes requiring 2 to 5 attempts to start the engine.
