I've been asked about my assertion that changing the fuel filter in your car can save gas, and I believe that most folks understand that their engines need the correct ratio of gas to air, so, to avoid beating a dead horse, allow me to point out some other important aspects of keeping a clean fuel filter:
1. A prematurely dirty fuel filter is a clear indication that the gasoline you are using is, well, DIRTY! If you are not using the same gas station repeatedly, you may want to start doing so ASAP to determine WHERE this dirt is coming from.
2. The constant force of your electric fuel pump over time can force dirt through the filter. At that point you start getting dirty injectors and dirt in the cylinders. Bad for saving gas and bad for engine wear.
3. The constant strain on an electric fuel pump trying to force gas through a dirty filter is like holding onto an electric fan blade and then turning the fan on, not letting the blades turn. It will shorten the life span of the electric pump, costing you plenty for it's replacement, and, worst case scenario, can cause an electrical fire. Auto mechanics have a technical term for this: BAD!
