Since the first vehicles with fuel injection from AVTOVAZ and before the transition to quick couplings, a threaded gasoline filter is used. In other words, such filters are used on very old cars.
Fuel can become contaminated during storage and transshipment. And the driver will feel the clogging of the fuel filter due to the behavior of the car, and only in those modes where the instantaneous fuel consumption is maximum, that is, at high speed and with intensive acceleration. Under such a load, the engine will lose traction, work intermittently, although at idle and in “quiet” modes everything looks decent.
In older cars, the process of corrosion of the walls of the gas tank is quite developed. In addition, owners of older cars are more likely to refuel at simple, unbranded gas stations, where fuel is cheaper. As a result, the filter gets dirty faster and it is advisable to replace it before the summer season.
If we assume the average fuel consumption of 10 liters per hundred kilometers, then only during the warranty period, which for most manufacturers is equal to 100,000 km, approximately 10,000 liters of fuel will pass through the car’s fuel system.
The filter sold in Za Rulem’s online store offers a high degree of fuel purification while being quite cheap.
