How Important The Fuel Filter Is!

The importance of the fuel filter

As an integral part of the fuel system components, a fuel filter plays an important role as it helps maintain the performance of mechanical equipment. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you are negligent in servicing your mechanical equipment's fuel filter. Generally speaking, fuel filters are difficult to open, but can still be cleaned and removed of various dirt that has settled. If the dirt buildup is too severe, you should replace the air filter with a new one, because the dirt has been deposited for too long and it is difficult to clean, which usually takes a long time.

The working principle of the fuel filter

The fuel filter is connected in series on the pipeline between the fuel pump and the throttle valve body inlet. The function of the fuel filter is to remove solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel to prevent the fuel system from clogging (especially the fuel injector). Reduce mechanical wear, ensure stable engine operation, and improve reliability. The structure of the fuel burner is composed of an aluminum shell and a bracket with stainless steel inside, and a high-efficiency filter paper is installed on the bracket, and the filter paper is shaped like a chrysanthemum to increase the flow area.

The function of the fuel filter

Tool to reduce fuel flow speed

Fuel filters can help reduce the flow rate of fuel to various components or combustion chambers. In this way, your device can drive stably under different road conditions. With the reduced fuel flow, various harmful components and particles will not enter the combustion chamber. If other parts or particles get into the combustion chamber, it can cause deposits at the bottom.

Preventing fuel filter clogging

When a fuel filter becomes clogged, there is increased resistance in the flow of fuel. If this happens, it will cause more fuel to enter the carburetor, resulting in wasted fuel. When the engine has a high speed, the automobile engine needs a large amount of fuel, so that the engine power will drop due to insufficient fuel supply. Fuel supply will flow from the fuel tank due to a clogged fuel filter. If you're constantly running out of fuel in the engine area, you're clogging your vehicle's filter.

Filtering dirt

Generally speaking, the main function of the fuel filter is to filter out various impurities in the fuel. If there is no filtration process, it will undoubtedly cause various problems for mechanical equipment. So you need to make sure to wash the dirt filter regularly to maintain the cleanliness of the filter.

Filter water elements in fuel

Fuel filters also filter out various water elements commonly found in fuel. Fuels can be mixed with water, and the reasons for mixing vary widely. The presence of unfiltered water will definitely hamper the performance of the device. With a fuel filter, you avoid the risk of fuel mixing with other elements and, of course, keep the performance of your equipment stable.
