Commonly the most overlooked component in a fuel system, filter
neglect can be the most costly. If not cleaned or replaced
regularly, filter elements can become clogged resulting in reduced
fuel flow, engine performance and ultimately, fuel pump or even
worse, engine damage. By simply replacing and/or cleaning your
filter elements regularly, you can avoid costly repairs to your
fuel system and ensure peak engine performance.
Aeromotive recommends annual inspection and service of filter
elements. This includes replacing 10-micron fabric elements and
cleaning or replacing 100-micron stainless steel elements. Severe
duty applications or newly installed systems may require more
frequent maintenance.
How do you know what element you need for your filter? Several
Aeromotive filters share the same housing, but the elements inside
may be drastically different and putting the wrong filter or
element in the wrong place could be costly for your fuel pump or
your engine. To find out, look inside the inlet of the filter.
Stamped on the top of the element is the micron rating. This will
tell you what element you need for your filter.
