Why we need to change fuel filter

Filtering obstructed, the engine is not getting enough fuel, hard starts, lost power or stall at high speeds.
With sediment and rust filter, fuel filter to create clean fuel source. This is a necessary condition for the system to provide stable operation of fuel, reliable engine work.
Although transport and storage in special tanks, fuel is at risk of impurities. Sometimes dust up into the fuel tank and hose in the pump at gas stations

Electronic fuel injection system. Fuel filter (Fuel filter) between the spray rig (Fuel rail) and pump (Fuel Pump)

If not filtered, sediment can clog logic inside Saul carburetors. For fuel injected engine, fuel injection is calculated as the injection time. Deposits to smaller nozzles, the combustion chamber to receive less fuel than required, the machine runs low. Even with large foreign bodies can clog the injector nozzle or do not shut tight as it will sometimes stick to the sole. For the clean diesel fuel is important because they affect close tolerances of high-pressure pump.

Fuel filter

Different motives and use different filters. The older the car, use carburetor, a foreign object trapped in size from 70 to 100 micro-meters. If the type of fuel injection, the size of foreign bodies are 10-40 micrometers. Oil filter for preventing contaminants may be small in size to a micro-meters. These strange objects have larger size will be at the top of the sieve tube between the suction pump.

In terms of structure, inside the filter paper can be treated, a mixture of cellulose and polyester block, fiberglass, and is the back. Even with good nylon mesh.

Fuel filter

After working long, orange stick to clog filters. Fuel is not sufficient. That's why a number of issues arise related to startup, the engine lacks power or stall at high speeds.

Stall while running on the highway to the overall transmission dynamics overloaded. Even in this situation or the torque converter clutch will slide to minimize damage to the system, but damage can still occur.

The system dynamics engine down wheel always work in a synchronous manner, corresponding to the speed of the engine's rotational speed wheel. Stall, stop rotating flywheel inertia while the wheels and drivetrain continues to operate. Pulse collision occurs between the rotating and fixed information that can spoil a few details.

When to change fuel filter

While some manufacturers recommend changing the fuel filter after running 80,000 km, then a repair technician for two years should be replaced after use.

A few notes when replacing the fuel filter

Gasoline or diesel combustible. Make sure there are no sparks or burning material (such as tobacco) before removing the pipe. Keep fuel lines away from exhaust, stock exhaust collector and catalytic converter. If using light illumination, distance between them to pipe the gas filter, a 60W light bulb is close to heat and steam that escape self-burning gasoline.

On some vehicles, the fuel inside the pipe maintains a pressure of about 5.8 atm or higher. This pressure should be eliminated before removing the filter.

To release the pressure in the pipes do one of two ways:

1 - Remove the fuse gas butter then restart the machine and wait until its own death. Decreasing fuel pump while the additional work in the pressure within the pipe down.

2 - Impact on port mounted gauges fuel pressure or Schrader valve on the spray rig (do this when the ignition key in OFF position). Always wear eye protection during operations to prevent fuel spray into the eyes.

Check pressure port

In the process of replacing the fuel filter, please check the combined pipeline. If they found cracks or breaks should be conducted instead. Note to withstand the pressure of new pipe, the value should be listed on the pipeline and it must be greater than the pressure of the system work.

After replacement, reboot and check the location link. If found leaking, turn off the machine and immediately remedied. Driving in such conditions have a high risk of fire.
