How Does Fuel Filter Work?

A typical fuel filter consists of a filter medial and an inlet and outlet for the entry and exit of fuel. A fuel pump pushes fuel along the fuel lines at high pressure. This causes the fuel to move through the filter media forcefully. The filtration media is porous. Depending on the size of the pores, fuel flows through, while particles remain behind.

Some fuel filter types, specifically those in diesel engines, contain a mechanism to remove water from the fuel. Essentially, these filters contain a bowl at the bottom where the water that separates from fuel collects.

A drain valve allows for the emptying of the water bowl. These filters also come fitted with a water sensor to send a dashboard warning when the water needs to be drained from the bowl.

When Should A Fuel Filter Be Replaced?

A bad fuel filter requires replacing. While some people might try to fix a damaged filter by cleaning it, it may not be a good idea. Besides, most fuel filters are not costly devices. They also last a long time, and installing a new one cannot subject you to unhealthy expenses. How do you replace a bad fuel filter? The answer to that question is in the next chapter.
