Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER




The fuel filter is located in the fuel feed pipe, between the fuel pump and the fuel injectors. The paper filter element (2) traps particles that may damage the fuel injection system. The filter housing (1) is made to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes in temperature.

IMPORTANT: This vehicle has a lifetime fuel filter built into the fuel sender inside the tank and thus is not serviceable separately. The fuel filter is not a replaceable part.
