Increased Fuel Economy: Your engine works better and longer when it receives a steady flow of clean gasoline. A clean fuel filter means less resistance in the fuel system, and greater efficiency means lower fuel consumption.

Increased engine performance: Modern cars have fuel injection systems that require high operating pressure. A clogged filter reduces the pressure and hinders performance.

No More Misfires: A fuel injection system in most cases has a minimum pressure requirement around 50psi. When your fuel filter gets clogged, the fuel pump has to work extremely hard to push fuel through the filter. This puts strain on the fuel pump and the pressure begins to drop in the injection system. Low pressure means misfires and a rough ride.

This is a bit of tricky question, only because you can’t visually inspect a fuel filter without cracking it open to see how it looks inside. That is why you should stick to schedule maintenance timeline. Most manufacturers say you should change the fuel filter every 50,000 kilometres, but we recommend doing it at 25,000. The $50 replacement every couple of years is a valuable investment against a very expensive fuel pump replacement.
