Importance of a Fuel Filter and When to Change It

change your car fuel filterThe fuel filter is essential for optimal engine performance and just like most components in your vehicle, requires regular maintenance. The gas that is put in your vehicle is used to power the engine. However, contaminants such as dirt, debris, and other particulates within the gas can harm your vehicle’s engine. The fuel filter is designed to filter out such impurities before it enters the engine, so that your engine is utilizing only pure gasoline. Over time, however, the fuel filter can become clogged and dirty with particulate matter.

If your vehicle begins showing symptoms such as decreased power when towing or going uphill, rough starts, shuddering idles, sluggish acceleration, or a hesitation from the engine in response to pressing the gas pedal, it may be time to have your fuel system inspected by a professional, as this is your vehicle’s response to inefficient fuel delivery.

Newer vehicles are equipped with a filter located inside the gas tank and is only replaced when the fuel pump assembly is changed. Today’s vehicles differ vastly from those of the past by improvements to fuel injectors and fuel systems. Consequently, these improvements make fuel injectors more sensitive to debris, which clog passages and cause damage to the injector. Damage to injectors results in a change in the release of fuel from a spray to a weak drip, affecting the combustion process. In the past, replacing the fuel filter was recommended every 20,000 – 30,000 miles. However, with improvements to fuels and today’s vehicles, filters can be replaced every 60,000 miles. Be sure to consult your vehicle manual or speak to a trusted mechanic to determine the ideal time to replace your fuel filter.
