What happens when the engine fuel filter is clogged?
1, Easy to extinguish
After the Fuel filter is clogged, the transportation of fuel is affected, resulting in insufficient fuel supply to the engine. The phenomenon of braking is obvious during driving or shifting, and it is easy to cause flameout when idling.
2, Driving weakness
Due to poor fuel supply, the engine power is reduced, the vehicle is running weak and the speed is reduced. The speed of more than 100km/h can be lowered to a speed of 70-80km/h.
3, Increase mechanical wear
Since the impurities are not filtered, the fuel path and the fuel injection system are corroded and damaged for a long time.
The function of the fuel filter is to filter out solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in gasoline or water. On the one hand, it can reduce the probability that the injector is blocked by impurities, and on the other hand, it can ensure the flow into the fuel system. fuel quality reduces mechanical wear and ensures stable operation of the engine. Therefore, the fuel filter should be replaced regularly. and the filtration efficiency of fuel filter is very important, otherwise will short engine life.
