Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

Fuel Filter:

The combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator (4) consists of a housing with an integrated filter element. The fuel flows through the filter from the outside to the inside. As a result, any impurities are trapped inside the filter.

The fuel flows through the filter (1) trapping any fuel impurities that may lie in the bottom of the tank.

The fuel filter can not be serviced separately from the pressure regulator, the entire fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator must be replaced as an assembly. For complete fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator removal procedures, see fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator removal.
