The fuel filter protects your vehicle's engine from fuel contaminants such as dust, dirt, and other impurities that build in the fuel tank. Over time the fuel filter can build up enough debris in the filter medium restricting fuel flow and fuel pressure. We recommend replacing fuel filters every 20,000 miles or 2 years for the best protection.
Fuel Filter Failure Symptoms:
- Low Fuel Pressure
- Poor Engine Performance
- Hesitation on Acceleration
- Failed Fuel Pump
About Mahle
Mahle began in 1920 when pistons made of heavy gray cast iron were being used in internal combustion engines for automobiles and there was a need for a new design. The Mahle brothers countered this trend by producing lightalloy pistons at their small, newly established company however the technology was still finicky and problems come up frequently. They soon determined that they needed to come up with a solution to keep dirt and dust out of the engine so they eventually developed air and oil filters as well. Their perseverance paid off and the lightalloy pistons began to take over the market. Today, half of all automobiles produced worldwide contain MAHLE components. MAHLE offers an extensive range of parts for everyone including pistons, cylinder liners, piston ring sets, bearings, assemblies, valves, valve train components, and air, oil, fuel, and cabin air filters. Their catalog and online database of aftermarket engine components is an indispensable reference.
