How often should the fuel filter be replaced?

It is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 10000 km, and replace the fuel filter in the fuel tank every 40000~80000 km. There may be slight differences in the maintenance intervals between different models. Please know when your car needs to be replaced and maintained through the "Self service" function.

During major maintenance, the fuel filter is generally replaced together with the engine oil, engine filter and air filter.

The disassembly and replacement of the fuel filter is relatively complicated, so it is not easy to do it yourself. It needs to be operated and installed by professionals from special stores.

Necessity of fuel filter replacement

The fuel filter can be divided into gasoline filter and diesel filter according to different fuels. The gasoline filter is mainly used in household cars, and the gasoline filter can be divided into internal and external fuel tank type.

With the increase of vehicle service age, the increase of driving mileage (participation, pictures, inquiry), and the long-term operation of the fuel filter, reaching a certain life cycle, will lead to weak acceleration, increased fuel consumption, increased noise, reduced handling performance, etc.

Precautions for purchase of fuel filter

1. Before purchasing goods, please be sure to check the model, displacement and other information of your car to ensure that you can buy the correct model of accessories. You can check your car's maintenance manual, or use the "self-service" function of the car maintenance website.

2. During major maintenance, the fuel filter is generally replaced together with the engine oil, engine filter and air filter.

3. High quality fuel filters are used. Poor fuel filters often lead to poor fuel supply, insufficient power and even flameout. Impurities are not filtered. The oil circuit and fuel injection system will also be corroded and damaged after a long time.

4. When you feel that the speed of the car is significantly reduced, the engine acceleration is poor, and the car is weak, you should think that the fuel filter may be blocked, and you need to check it in time.
