After all, automotive maintenance is all about prevention and addressing small problems before they get big. The fuel filter is one of those small, inexpensive parts that can end in expensive engine damage when they fail. As vehicles age, they accumulate a lot of dirt and rust in their gas tanks. If that dirt gets into the engine, it can cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage. A clogged fuel filter can’t let enough fuel through to meet the demands of vehicle going at higher speeds. At this point, your engine might just shut off or not start at all. You don't want to risk getting stranded or even trash the engine. Much better to follow a regular maintena ... read more
