Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

Fuel Pump Assembly:

IN-TANK FILTER
The first stage fuel filter is an in-tank strainer style filter mounted to the pick-up tube of the fuel pump. This filter removes contaminants and particles from the fuel prior entering the fuel pump.

Fuel Filter:

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER
In addition to the sock style filter found on the fuel pump, all models have an in-line fuel filter mounted between the fuel tank and engine, under the vehicle. Due to the sensitivity of fuel injected engines this filter removes contaminants that may have passed through the sock type filter.


NOTE: The manufacturer does not give a recommended service interval for the fuel filter; however, the fuel filter can be tested to determine if it is defective.
