Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

IN-LINE FILTER
The in-line fuel filter provides extremely fine filtration to protect the small metering orifices of the fuel injector nozzles. The fuel filter is a one-piece construction which cannot be cleaned. If the fuel filter becomes clogged or restricted, replace it.

IN-TANK FILTER
A nylon filter element is mounted on the electric fuel pump inlet inside the fuel tank and is used to protect the fuel pump from larger contaminants in the fuel tank. If the fuel pump becomes clogged, it must be replaced.

FUEL INJECTOR SCREEN
A fuel injector screen is located at the top of each fuel injector, and is not serviceable. If the fuel injector screen becomes clogged, the complete fuel injector must be replaced.
