Symptoms that Warn You About Fuel Filter Issues

The fuel filter malfunctioning is one of the most common issues faced by every car driver at one point in their life.

The fuel filter is the cartridge in the fuel line whose function is to remove any dirt from the fuel as it enters the engine.

While screening out various impurities, the fuel filter can often get soiled and even clogged, which leads to their malfunctioning.

This, in turn, will affect the general performance of the car, which may lead to several critical and often dangerous problems.

Here are the symptoms that will warn you about issues in your car's fuel filter. Car fails to start Engine idles roughly Hesitating engine Erratic performance

Car fails to start

A dirty fuel filter will always prevent your car from starting as the fuel pressure cannot overcome the clogged fuel filter.

This means that despite your fuel pressure trying to push things forward through the engine, the gasoline is unable to move forward due to contamination.

Engine idles roughly

If you experience erratic readings on your tachometer related to the engine speed when you have stopped, then it is a sign of the bad fuel filter.

A normal RPM of a car is between 400-800 RPM and if it falls below that, when idling, then you must replace your fuel filter.

Hesitating engine

If your engine keeps on hesitating when you press down on the gas, you must be having a dirty fuel filter that has been clogged.

A clog means the flow of gas to the engine is restricted and this abnormal combustion ultimately reduces the car's power & response.

In situations like these where you need a sudden burst of power or acceleration, your car's lack of responsiveness can be dangerous.

Erratic performance

It is quite typical for a car with a bad filter to operate perfectly well at high speeds but hesitate at lower speeds.

This is due to the different levels of fuel flow pressure from the fuel pump. As in higher speed, the car requires more fuel and the pressure is high, which might lead to some fuel flow.

However, at lower speeds, the fuel pump pressure is not strong enough to feed the necessary amount of fuel into the engine, which causes a problem in performance.

Conclusion

The severity of the problem can vary depending on the type of debris that has stuck in the filter and the strength of the fuel pump.

These are some of the common symptoms associated with a malfunctioning fuel filter and you must immediately take your car to a repair shop when you experience these issues.
