5. Prensip Operasyon yo

The inline fuel filter operates by passing fuel through a filtration medium, typically made of pleated paper or synthetic material. As fuel flows through the filter, microscopic particles and impurities are trapped within the filter media, preventing them from reaching the fuel injectors and other sensitive components of the fuel system. This process ensures that only clean fuel is delivered to the engine, which is crucial for efficient combustion, optimal engine performance, and preventing wear on fuel system components.

6. Antretyen

The fuel filter is a wear item and requires periodic replacement. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or service schedule for the recommended replacement interval. Factors such as fuel quality and driving conditions can influence the lifespan of the filter. A clogged fuel filter can lead to reduced engine performance, poor fuel economy, difficulty starting, or engine stalling.
