The principles of the fuel filter usage

Fuel cleaning is essential for proper engine operation and long engine life. The filtration process in the fuel system consists of two stages. The first is a rough cleaning, in which particles of rust, large dust particles, etc. are sifted out. The second is a finer cleaning. Depending on the car model, different fine filters are installed between the gas tank and the engine, most often it can be found under the hood.
