Fuel Filters

To maintain optimal performance of your Toyota's engine and fuel economy, the fuel filter must be in good working condition. The fuel filter is a component of the fuel system that traps dirt and any other contaminants that reduce the engine's performance. The contaminants accumulate within the filter media and housing so they don't cause damage to the engine. There are many signs that can point you in the direction of needing a new fuel filter. If your filter starts to clog, your car might have difficulty starting. Of course, this can be another issue altogether, but a full block in fuel system means your car won't be going anywhere. Shaking while idling is also something that should get you to check your fuel filter. Slight clogging of the fuel filter is enough to cause your car to shake when it's not supposed to. It's important to replace fuel filters regularly to maintain the smooth performance of your car. Getting the fuel filter changed out should be something you view as a maintenance step just like rotating your tires or changing the oil.
