Why a Clean Fuel Supply is Important


A clean fuel supply is absolutely essential for reliable engine operation and fuel system performance. The fuel filter is the fuel system’s primary line of defense against dirt, which is why replacing the fuel filter is so important. Debris and small particles of rust that flake off the inside of the fuel tank are all trapped in the fuel filter. 

To prevent the big pieces of dirt and rust from entering the fuel line, there is a mesh filter sock on the end of the fuel pickup tube inside the gas tank. This does not keep out smaller particles that can be so troublesome and that is where the fuel filter come into play. These contaminants can plug fuel metering orifices in a carburetor or prevent valves from seating if not trapped by the filter. Fuel debris can clog the injector inlet screens and starve the injector for fuel, in fuel injected engines.  If this debris finds its way inside the injector, it can wear or jam the pintle valve and seat.  

This is something to look out for when purchasing a used car.  Shopping for a used car is easy when you know about car supermarkets.  Here you enter the make, model, type and color of the car you are searching for and click on the search button.
