Fuel Filter Replacement Service in Dallas
What Is A Fuel Filter?
As the name implies, a fuel filter's job is to remove any impurities, build-up, and debris from the fuel that will enter the engine of your vehicle. The impurities and debris in fuel can create fuel line clogs and clogs within the engine's fuel injectors. When these issues arise, you may notice that your car is hard to start, sputters or stalls, or the engine appears to be losing power because it is not receiving a constant and consistent supply of fuel. While all these issues are annoying and could pose a safety hazard if you are in swiftly moving traffic and the vehicle suddenly begins to slow for no apparent reason, it is also essential to understand that these issues can cause harm to the engine if they are ignored for an extended period.
The Fuel Filter Services Offered At Premier Autos Of Dallas
Most fuel filters are located outside the fuel tank for ease of service. They are typically either cartridge filters or situated in line with the fuel delivery system. Your auto tech at Premier Autos of Dallas will remove and inspect the filter for wear and damage to determine if it needs to be replaced or is well within its life expectancy and will continue to function reliably. Please keep in mind that while your vehicle is in our state-of-the-art service center, it is a great time to combine routine auto care like an oil change, tire rotation, or other inspections to save you some time returning in the next few weeks for other maintenance.
When Should I Schedule A Fuel Filter Inspection And Service?
Generally, fuel filter service is recommended for the average vehicle at intervals of 20,000 to 30,000 miles. You can check your vehicle owner's manual for more specific guidelines. However, it is also vital that you take into consideration the factors that may require more frequent fuel filter inspections, such as driving in harsh climates with high dust levels, the age of your vehicle, and the type of fuel used. Diesel vehicles are more prone to issues with water and sediment and could typically benefit from more frequent fuel filter inspections and replacements. With that in mind, your diesel Sprinter van is the perfect candidate for more frequent fuel filter service to ensure its longevity and dependability.
If you notice your vehicle's engine is not functioning as smoothly, is hard to start, or stalls more frequently than in the past, please stop by the service department at Premier Autos of Dallas for a fuel filter inspection. This fast and simple service could eliminate issues and prevent damage to your vehicle's engine.
