Troubleshooting
According to the periodic maintenance table, the fuel filter should be replaced on average once every twenty thousand kilometers. It is also recommended to change it during seasonal maintenance.

Fuel filters have appeared since the creation of cars with internal combustion engines and have undergone significant evolution. The power of engines increased, their volume changed, but the need to purify fuel from foreign impurities is still relevant today.
