How is your fuel filter?

The fuel filter in your car may be small, but it plays a huge role in ensuring the optimal functioning of your engine. Over time, this essential component gets clogged with dirt and grime, reducing its effectiveness in filtering out contaminants from your fuel.

A brand new filter, like the one pictured, looks clean and clear, while a filter that has done its job for 19,000kms looks caked in debris. This difference alone shows why checking and changing your fuel filters regularly is important.

Experts recommend replacing your fuel filter every 20,000kms, as this helps prevent wear and tear on your car and reduces the likelihood of expensive breakdowns. Without proper filtration, debris and dirt could cause harm to your fuel injectors, carburetor, and fuel pump, potentially leading to a costly and time-consuming repair.
