There are three types of fuel filters: diesel filter, gasoline filter, and natural gas filter. Fuel filters serve the purpose of retaining particles, water, and other impurities in the fuel to prevent wear of precision parts in the fuel system and other damages.
A fuel filter is connected in series on the pipeline between a fuel pump and the fuel inlet of a throttle valve body.
A fuel filter removes solids such as iron oxide and dust from fuel, thus preventing blocking in the fuel system (especially at the fuel spray nozzle). By doing so it helps reduce mechanical wear, maintain stable operation of the engine, and improve system reliability. The fuel filter consists of an aluminum enclosure and a support with stainless steel interior. Efficient filter paper pieces on the support are arranged in a daisy pattern to achieve a larger flow area.
Electric injection filters can’t be used in conjunction with carburetor filters. Since electric injection filters are often exposed to 200-300KPA fuel pressure, their compression strength should be higher than 500KPA. By contrast, carburetor filters are not required to provide such high-pressure performance.
