When the fuel filter becomes clogged, it can restrict the amount of fuel that flows through the engine, leading to various problems. One of the most common issues is engine stalling, as the fuel pump is unable to deliver enough fuel to keep the engine running.
Stalling can occur while the car is driving, especially when the fuel demand is high, such as during acceleration or hill climbing. It can also happen when the engine is idling, as there is not enough fuel flowing to keep the engine running smoothly.
In addition to stalling, a bad fuel filter can also cause a loss of power, engine hesitation, and poor fuel efficiency. If you experience these issues, it is recommended to inspect and replace the fuel filter as needed.
