Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

Description:

A fuel filter is used in the fuel feed pipe ahead of the fuel injection system. The fuel filter is mounted on the right side of the underbody. The fuel filter housing is constructed of steel with a quick-connect fitting at the inlet of the fuel filter and a threaded fitting at the outlet of the fuel filter. The filter element is made of paper and is designed to trap particles suspended in the fuel that may damage the injection system.

There is no service interval for in-line fuel filter replacement. Only replace the in-line fuel filter if it is restricted.
