What does a fuel filter do?
The fuel filter is a key component of the fuel system, the fuel runs through the filter from the fuel tank before it enters the fuel pump. It ensures the fuel coming from the fuel tank is clean of potentially harmful dirt or debris that could enter the fuel system and cause damage. Not only does it help to protect your fuel pump and injectors, it also plays a significant role in ensuring that you are achieving the highest fuel-efficiency possible.
The filter is used every time the car is switched on and run. As time goes on the filter can become clogged, reducing how much fuel reaches your engine. This will reduce your engine's performance and can force the fuel pump to work harder than it should, which itself may fail as a result.
Every car needs the correct amount of fuel to run and start properly. Therefore ensuring your filter is in good working order is an important and fairly straightforward part of car maintenance.
Peugeot
Peugeot is a French automotive manufacturer, initially founded in 1810 as a manufacturer of coffee and bicycles that went on to build internal combustion engine cars from 1890.
How popular is Peugeot in the United Kingdom?
With possibly its strongest model line-up in years, Peugeot is looking to turn around its current dip in vehicle numbers on the UK roads today. After a steady rise over the decade from 1995 to 2005, from 1.1million to 2.1million, the current tally has slowly dropped to a mere 1.8million—a strong total despite the depreciation in numbers.
A mixed range of sensibly priced cars
With 21 standard vehicle models available from the full Peugeot line-up, that’s a lot of choice when buying a car.
Without doubt, it’s their SUV offerings that are leading the way; the innovation and technology applied to these stronger models will hopefully be developed through the rest of the range, bringing them into line with what the buying public expect from their motoring today.
The modern Peugeot: executive styling in the making
Catering for city driving, Peugeot has smaller models available that include the 108 city car and the 208 supermini, next up is the 308 hatchback, and then the majority of the models in today’s line-up is their range of SUVs.
However, the 508 saloon, featuring fastback type styling, has grown into an attractive low-slung 5-door coupé. More cars like this could enhance Peugeot’s positioning away from the mid-stream and into executive status.
The historic and iconic Peugeot 205 GTI
It was in the 1980s when the 205 was introduced and seemed responsible for turning around the success of the company. The supermini model was applauded for its style and handling, which led to sales topping 50k units a year.
In 1984 the GTI was launched with a 1.6-litre engine; soon followed by a 1.9-litre model. The high-performance hatchback set standards in thrill-seeking for younger drivers everywhere.
Could the new range of SUVs be responsible for another similarly styled comeback for the French giant?
How often does a fuel filter need replacing?
The general rule of thumb is that a fuel filter should be replaced every two years or every 30,000 miles. However, as with most car parts, the lifespan of a fuel filter will vary depending on the car and driver. If you experience any symptoms of a bad fuel filter sooner than this, we recommend having the fuel filter inspected and, if necessary, replaced.
A failing fuel filter will cause various problems when driving. It is one of the main reasons an engine stalls while driving and can cause low power and poor fuel economy. In extreme cases, a blocked fuel filter prevents fuel from traveling through the fuel lines to the engine, starving your engine of fuel and causing damage to the fuel pump.
To avoid unnecessary damage to your fuel system and engine it’s advisable to regularly inspect and service your fuel filter.
The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
If you experience any symptoms of a failing fuel filter we recommend booking your car in for a service or repair. Swapping a fuel filter is a fairly simple job and is replaced as part of any minor or major service. Regular car maintenance is key to ensuring your vehicle remains safe and roadworthy.

What causes a fuel filter to stop working?
Over time, a fuel filter can become rather dirty and clogged up. This will reduce the flow of fuel towards the engine or, in some cases, a failing filter will allow dirty fuel to pass through into the engine. Understandably a bad fuel filter can lead to further, more expensive damage.
If you experience any symptoms of a bad filter, we recommend having the fuel filter inspected and, if necessary, replaced.

Can you drive with a bad fuel filter?
Yes, but it is not recommended, as a bad fuel filter will cause various problems when driving. A dirty or blocked fuel filter is one of the main reasons an engine stalls while driving. In extreme cases, a blocked fuel filter prevents fuel from traveling through the fuel lines to the engine, starving your engine of fuel and causing damage to the fuel pump.
