A B12828 fuel filter installed in a fuel pipe is call external filter. By contrast, an internal filter is installed in a fuel pump or a fuel tank. A fuel filter or its protective bush located in a fuel tank is normally regarded as a maintenance-free part.
The fuel filters on many imported cars adopt banjo fittings. In order to guarantee sealing reliability, repeated use of the same gasket is prohibited. The sealing performance of a new gasket should be checked immediately after installation. If an O-ring in a fuel system has to be replaced, the specification and model of the replacement O-ring should be checked to guarantee correct elasticity and hardness.
A loop-free fuel system contains only one internal filter (inside the fuel tank). Despite the high cost of such an all-in-one structure consisting of pump, filter, and transfer unit, timely and proper maintenance and servicing is necessary if the fuel transfer is impeded or the engine performance is degraded as a result. In the meanwhile, all fuel pipes should be examined for possible faults, and any signs of crack or curled edge of the hose clamps should be identified.
