Where is the Swift fuel filter located?
2 Answers
The Swift fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank, integrated with the fuel pump. The primary function of the fuel filter is to remove impurities from the fuel, ensuring clean gasoline enters the engine for combustion and reducing carbon deposits in the cylinders. The Swift is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with the following dimensions: length 3765mm, width 1690mm, height 1510mm, and a wheelbase of 2390mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The Swift is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 76kW at 6000rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The fuel filter of the Swift is actually located near the fuel tank under the chassis. I've crawled under to look for it several times myself. It's usually clamped near the center longitudinal beam of the chassis, secured with a metal clamp, and looks like a small cylindrical canister. It's recommended to lift the car for better visibility, though it often gets covered with dirt after prolonged driving. Last time my friend went to replace it, the repair shop forgot to install the sealing washer at this location, resulting in a persistent gasoline smell while driving. Remember to check it regularly, especially after driving over 20,000 kilometers as the filtering efficiency deteriorates, which may lead to poor fuel supply or engine shuddering.
