FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the fuel filter need replacing?+

Usually every 20,000–40,000 km, but the exact interval depends on the manufacturer, engine type (petrol/diesel), and fuel quality used.

Why does the engine lose power under acceleration?+

A clogged fuel filter restricts fuel supply to the engine, especially noticeable under load, when higher fuel flow is needed — this shows up as power loss, hesitation, or jerking under acceleration.

Why is the filter sometimes built into the fuel tank?+

This design is more compact and protects the filter from external factors, but complicates the replacement procedure — access is often required through a special hatch in the floor or by removing part of the fuel tank.

Do diesel engines need more frequent filter changes?+

Diesel fuel contains more impurities and is prone to water condensation, so diesel fuel filters are often fitted with an additional water separator and may need more frequent servicing depending on usage conditions.

What should I do if I've refuelled with poor-quality fuel?+

It's worth checking the fuel filter's condition earlier than scheduled — poor-quality fuel can contain more impurities and contamination that speed up clogging.

How long does fuel filter replacement take?+

From 30 minutes for externally located filters to 1.5–2 hours for filters built into the fuel tank with the pump.

Is working on the fuel system myself dangerous?+

Working on the fuel line requires mandatory pressure release before starting — without following this procedure, there's a risk of fuel spraying when disconnecting the lines. We recommend leaving this work to a specialist.
