When your fuel filter is clogged, you’ll feel it in your car’s performance. Delaying a replacement can lead to low fuel pressure that stops your engine in its tracks. It could be time to replace your fuel filter if you notice:

Sluggish engine performance (sputtering horsepower, dragging)

It takes longer to start your car, or your car won’t start at all

Engine stalling

Drop in MPG’s

Misfiring

While checking your fuel filter at home is possible for most external fuel filters, dealing with gasoline requires an abundance of caution. If you think something’s wrong with your fuel filter, we recommend bringing your vehicle in to be inspected by a professional.
