Here is a good reason to change your fuel filter. After 300,000 miles on the same fuel filter, I cut it in half so we can see how dirty the filter is and so we can do a flow test! I also check a fuel filter with 130k miles and another with 30k miles to compare the three fuel filters.

@johnmoore1495
@johnmoore1495 6 лет назад
The test is actually pointless. He poured the gas into the outlet side of the filter so the gas is flowing in the opposite direction than it normally would. So on the dirty filter he's actually pushing through the clean inside out to the contaminated outside. This then pushes off the contaminates from the outside which mixes with the gas and drops down into the cup. Pushing the contaminates off of the filter from the inside is a lot easier than trying to push into the contaminates and filter like it normally would. If he rigged it the way that gas normally flows it would look much cleaner, probably like normal gas, but it would probably be going through drop by drop because the gas isn't under any pressure besides it's own weight. Not hating on Chris his tutorials and advice is still all good it's just the test didn't prove anything, not even the flow rate.

Protip, drench the line connectors with WD-40 before removing the filter. They come off much easier and the WD washes away minor crud which accumulates on connector and line surfaces. That especially helps with old filters which have never been replaced.

Another excellent video from Chris fix showing how easy it is to change a fuel filter. I particularly liked: 1. Disconnecting the fuel pump fuse to depressurise the system; 2. The flow tests on the 300k van filter which showed how hard the fuel pump must have been working to get at the gas.

Many thanks for going to the trouble of illustrating the need to maintain our engines and take the trouble to look after the systems that aid and promote clean, effective and efficient operation. Much less expensive to change a filter in good time than a fuel pump or injector. Bravo!

Never gave a sh*t about them... Out of 34 years on this earth you are the very first person to actually interest me into vehicle maintenance. I even worked at Autozone briefly. You're my favorite channel on youtube. My fiance is even impressed with the sh*t I've learned from your videos. She catches me watching them untill 530 am every night/morning. Your friends and family are blessed to have such a knowledgeable person around. Thank you very much.

Hey Chris I always love your videos and have really learned new things and got confidence to do it with just hand tools. A lot of RU-vidrs show you but you actually explain and get into the science of it so we actually know why what we’re doing is important. I do have a question though I have a ‘99 dodge Dakota and for some reason It has a “lifetime” fuel filter on it meaning it’s in the tank is there a way to engineer an external one or do I have to drop that tank every time?

That fuel pump must have been made out of titanium to last this long having to force gasoline through that level of restriction without burning out. I doubt one on a modern car would survive that long under those conditions.

+482lost That's because the demonstration he used was a Fram filter, while the original was a Motorcraft. Ford contracts their filters to a higher specification than an off the shelf Fram filter, as does GM. Mopar filters last I heard were Fram filters painted blue.

Fuel filter change is definitely a good idea to save the strain on your fuel pump. This is something I never even considered before now. On my last car I changed the fuel filter after about 1,000 miles because the car stalled a few times, and it didn't stall again after I changed the filter, so I might have got some really bad fuel, or maybe some gunk from the bottom of the tank.

The gravity tests were also in reverse direction which can have an influence on flow, albeit minor. The old filter would likely have gotten better as you put more fuel in it since it would partially unclog those pores. I am doubtful the clean filter would have different results in your small scale if flow was reversed. We do work in my lab where we separate based off chemical and physical properties as opposed to size of particulates. Our columns could get different results if we reverse flow depending on what they are packed with. But generally they are uniform. I only say this because in limited cases, forwards and backwards are not the same. But I think your demonstration was phenomenal at showing filtration capabilities. What I would have liked to see on the dirty filter was how nasty the fuel was if going in the proper flow direction. Since you loosened the grit by going the opposite direction, we don't have a clear view of whether or not that grit and color make it to the fuel injectors. I presume the answer is no if the filter is still intact, but yes if any material has worn down. You injectors weren't clogged. Love your videos. They have inspired me to do a lot more mechanical work on my own. Now I have friends coming by to ask questions and I often send links to your videos. Keep up the great work.

I had a check engine light pop up on the dash of my 07 F150. Went to parts store and they hooked a scan tool to it. Was throwing a "lean on bank 2" fuel code. Guy at O'Reilly's said 80 % could be fuel filter. Bought one for little over $20. Replaced it and reset codes (remove neg. battery cable). Drove it almost a week and no lean codes and better gas mileage. Provably saved my in tank fuel pump too. That's expensive to replace. Thanks O'Reilly's and RU-vid!
