The gasoline filter mainly filters the solid impurities contained in the fuel (iron oxide, dust, etc.), protects the oil pump nozzle, cylinder liner and piston ring, not only greatly reduces wear and tear, but also avoids clogging. Don't underestimate the power of a fuel filter. Without it, there is no way to keep the fuel clean as it enters the engine cylinders. Not only the power of the car will be seriously reduced, but even the service life of some parts will be affected.
What is the difference between a filter and a filter element?
The difference between the filter and the filter element, the filter element is actually the filter paper in the gasoline filter, which is used to filter harmful substances in the fuel. When we open the filter housing, we can see that it is a circular pleated structure, which is what we call the filter element. If the color of the filter element turns black obviously, it should be replaced in time to ensure its effective filtering effect, otherwise harmful substances will easily damage the auto parts.
