The fuel filter is typically located in the fuel tank or fuel line of your car. It traps dirt, rust, and other particles and keeps them out of your car’s fuel system. When debris enters your fuel, it causes contamination that can harm your engine and decrease your car’s lifespan.
In general, fuel filters should be changed every two years or every 30,000 miles – whichever one comes first. However, your specific car might have different manufacturer recommendations. In fact, some car manufacturers don’t recommend fuel filter replacements until up to 150,000 miles.
There are also several signs you can look out for that indicate you need a new filter. When a fuel filter becomes dirty or clogged, it disrupts fuel flow to your engine. This can cause a rough idle or make your car slower to start.
If you feel your car sputtering, accelerating erratically, or otherwise running in a strange manner, an old fuel filter could be to blame. The same is true of misfiring engines, significant changes in fuel consumption, or an illuminated check engine light.
