When Should the Fuel Filter Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The fuel filter should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. The fuel filter, also known as the fuel strainer, is primarily used to filter out impurities in the gasoline. There are two types: carburetor-style and fuel injection-style. If the fuel quality is not good and contains a high level of impurities, it can damage components such as the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and fuel lines in the engine, affecting the normal operation of the fuel system. The fuel filter can remove solid impurities like iron oxide and dust, as well as water, from the gasoline. This not only reduces the likelihood of injector clogging but also ensures the quality of gasoline entering the fuel system, optimizing engine performance and providing the best protection for the engine. The fuel filter is a consumable part of the car and needs to be replaced after prolonged use.
