FUEL FILTER CUMMINS FLEETGUARD FF2O2

The main function of a fuel filter is to ensure the cleanliness of the diesel fuel entering the combustion chamber, which is a fundamental feature of all combustion engine systems. In general, fuel filters prevent our fuel from being contaminated by dirt and rust so that they do not enter the combustion chamber, as fuel storage tanks are usually made of metal.

Fuel filter replacement must be carried out periodically according to the replacement interval recommended for each engine and filter type. Fuel filters are a very common spare part for any engine and are relatively inexpensive compared to other spare parts, and they are also quite easy to replace. However, neglecting them can be very fatal and may cause greater damage, leading to costly engine repairs depending on the level of damage caused.

The main problem caused by dirty fuel is inefficient combustion, which results in reduced engine power. Consequently, fuel consumption increases in order to produce the same power output. In addition, dirt can damage fuel injectors. Worn injectors will cause excessive fuel delivery into the combustion chamber, leading to higher fuel consumption. Replacing injectors as a repair measure is much more expensive compared to replacing a fuel filter. On the other hand, dirt in the fuel can also clog injectors, which results in insufficient fuel supply to the cylinder. If you experience difficulty starting your engine, it is one of the indications that your fuel filter is clogged. All of these problems can be prevented by routinely replacing your fuel filter according to the recommended replacement schedule.
