Fuel Filters

The gas that your Nissan car, SUV, pickup, or van runs on contains impurities that remained following the refinement process. That's why your vehicle came with a fuel filter. Much like the air filters and oil filter, your fuel filter us==is responsible for removing harmful contaminants before they can make their way into vital systems.

Most modern vehicles have two kinds of fuel filters. One is a strainer that's located in the fuel tank. The other is in the main fuel line. These cylindrical cartridges have filter paper inside, which captures contaminants before they can move into vulnerable parts. If either gets clogged or degrades, impurities could build up in the fuel pump, clog the fuel injectors, and collect in the rest of your engine. Once that happens, your vehicle's performance will suffer.
