Clean Your Fuel Line With an Expert Filter Replacement

What Does a Fuel Filter Do?

The fuel filter keeps out dirt and debris particles from a vehicle’s fuel line and prevents their entry into a vehicle’s engine. Fuel filters become obstructed due to dirt or rust in the fuel tank, and by the normal deterioration of the fuel line. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles. If service history is unavailable, visually inspecting the fuel filter is the next best way to determine if it needs replaced.

The fuel filter may need to be replaced more often if: you get bad gas, or gas with alcohol in it. Or, use ethanol gas, especially E85 or drive frequently on gravel roads.
