Genuine Toyota Fuel Filters

The engine in your car, SUV, van, or pickup requires two things to fuel the combustion at its core: oxygen and gas. The thing is, that gas still contains impurities – even after it’s left the refinery. If permitted, those contaminants could quickly suppress engine performance and cause trouble throughout your fuel system. That’s why your vehicle has fuel filters.

What Fuel Filters Do

Much like your air filter and oil filter, the fuel filter is responsible for capturing those pollutants before they can get too far. Most vehicles these days have two types of fuel filters. One is a strainer located in the fuel tank. The other is in the main fuel line. They’re cylindrical cartridges with filter paper inside. The paper captures the impurities before they can move into vulnerable parts. If either gets clogged or degrades, contaminants could collect in the fuel pump, block the fuel injectors, and amass in your engine. Once that happens, your vehicle's performance will suffer.

Signs of trouble include:

• Rough engine starts
