Fuel Filters

The fuel filter for your car's engine is essential for its clean combustion. It is responsible for helping your engine run reliably.

Fuel Filters & What They do for Your Car's Engine

A fuel filter is made from a cellulose synthetic fiber material that is in a cylindrical shape. It fits snuggly inside a steel or ceramic cannister which connects to the fuel lines of your fuel pump. When gas is pumped into the engine for combustion, it must be filtered. Byproducts like dirt and metal particles from the fuel production process and transportation can accumulate inside your fuel tank and lines. Over the years, these particles can damage or harm your engine's performance. The fuel filter is designed to trap these contaminants to prevent long term damage or sluggish engine performance.

Signs of a Failing or Outdated Car Fuel Filter

Fuel filters can last up to 40,000 miles or more depending on your Ford model. Some fuel filters may require replacement after 20,000 miles but if you are unsure, consult a technician for information no your specific car, truck or SUV model. Some of the symptoms of a failing fuel filter will entail lower fuel mileage, possible engine sputtering or rough idling, and strong fuel odors from outside your car.
