Fuel Filters FAQ
Will I know immediately if there is fuel system damage? No, some vehicles can still drive for miles with fuel system damage. But there are warning signs to look for, such as, your vehicle struggles or sputters to start, doesn’t start at all, or stalls.
Does it take a long time to replace the fuel filter? No, this varies by vehicle make and model, but if all fuel filter replacement steps are performed properly and safely it should only take you about 1 hour to replace the fuel filter. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual may list the fuel filter replacement procedure for your specific vehicle. Also, some fuel filters use Quick Connects and may require a special tool to replace them.
If I do not replace my fuel filter frequently will it run less efficiently? Yes, this may result in less than optimum efficiency. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for exact fuel filter replacement intervals for your specific vehicle.
