Fuel Filter: Service and Repair

Fuel Filter

NOTE: A coarse filter is attached to the base of the housing and prevents the ingress of large contaminants into the swirl pot. A gauze filter prevents particles entering the fuel pump.

Surrounding the pump is a large fine paper filter element which further protects the fuel pressure regulator, engine and injectors from particulate contamination. The paper filter is not a serviceable item and removes the requirement for an external in-line filter.
