What does a clogged fuel filter sound like?

A clogged fuel filter can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

* Engine sputtering or hesitating. This is because the fuel filter is not able to deliver enough fuel to the engine, which causes the engine to run lean.

* Loss of power. This is also caused by the fuel filter not being able to deliver enough fuel to the engine.

* Engine stalling. This happens when the fuel filter becomes so clogged that it completely blocks the flow of fuel to the engine.

* Poor fuel economy. This is because the engine is not able to use fuel efficiently when the fuel filter is clogged.

* Engine overheating. This can happen if the fuel filter becomes so clogged that it restricts the flow of fuel to the engine's cooling system.
