Gasoline is the power source of automobiles. Therefore, the quality of gasoline is very important. If there are too many impurities in gasoline, it will damage the fuel system (especially the nozzle). However, the best gasoline has impurities, so the fuel filter came out to save the world. With it, impurities in gasoline are filtered out, and the oil circuit is smooth. Naturally, it can prevent the blockage of the fuel system and reduce mechanical wear, thus ensuring the stable operation of the engine.
Practice has proved that when the car travels 8000-12000 km, the speed decreases, the maximum speed can only reach 60-170 km/h, and the engine runs unsteadily, because the filter element of the fuel filter is blocked. Therefore, if the car is found to be powerless, the fuel filter should be checked in time, and the filter should be replaced according to the provisions of the original factory.
If the fuel filter fails, the vehicle will behave as follows
- Easy to extinguish: After the blockage of the fuel filter, the transportation of gasoline is affected, resulting in insufficient fuel supply for the engine, obvious rubbing phenomenon during driving or shifting, and easy to extinguish when idling.
- Driving weakness: due to the poor fuel supply, the engine power decreases, and the vehicle’s driving weakness and speed decreases. A car with a speed of more than 100 km/h can be reduced to a speed of 70-80 km/h.
3. Increase mechanical wear: Because impurities are not filtered, the oil circuit and fuel injection system will be corroded and damaged for a long time.
If the fuel filter is dirty, there will be a warning. Everyone should pay more attention and watch carefully. Fuel filter is a consumable product. When we replace it, the most important thing we need to pay attention to is the installation of genuine products. Because the filter paper used in inferior fuel filters is poor in material, on the one hand, it is easy to damage prematurely; on the other hand, the debris generated by filter paper is easy to enter the gasoline, which may lead to blockage of the oil pipeline or damage to the fuel pump.
What are the components of the fuel filter?
Good material will prolong the life of the filter, otherwise it is easy to damage. The fuel filter mainly consists of three kinds of materials:
External case: Material is aluminium or stainless steel, long-term contact with gasoline, to maintain good corrosion resistance, and thickness requirements.
Internal filter material: reliable filter material and filter area. The filtering accuracy can be filtered into micron-sized impurities, and the filtering efficiency is high.
Internal seal: Sealing rubber is also very sophisticated, natural rubber will be worse after prolonged use time, to maintain good internal seal in order to filter gasoline without leakage.
