How often do you really or should we really change the car's fuel filter?

Question

Really ?

I said "FUEL FILTER"

NOT OIL FILTER

Answer 1

not too often, maybe every year should be fine. you dont have to do it that often. typically people just change them when they think it might be the suspect in a problem.

Answer 2

at least twice a year

Answer 3

The cost is'nt bad but , If you want you car to run better and save on fuel I would do it annually . if it is fuel injected iI would do it annually.It is cheaper to change filter , than it is to fix injection system parts.

Answer 4

Only if you have a problem which might be caused by a dirty or blocked fuel filter.

Answer 5

id say at least every 6 months but no less than min of a change once a year

Answer 6

it depends on the vehicle. some manufacturers recommend 12k miles some 15k and so on. i would suggest checking your owners manual if you have 1. if not just change it once a year, it will be more often than most people.

Answer 7

stick with th e manufacturers recommendations. you really cannot go wrong that way.
