Where is the best place to mount a fuel filter?
The engine compartment’s the last place you’d want to put a fuel filter unless it was securely bracketed to something so that the lines don’t pull out of it or the glass/plastic doesn’t hit anything hard and crack.
Which way round do fuel filters go?
However, most filters contain an arrow that points in the direction of the fuel flow. For proper installation, this arrow should point towards the carburetor. If there is no arrow on the new filter, Briggs & Stratton recommends placing the larger end towards the engine.
How often should you replace fuel filter?
Depending on the age of your vehicle, it may require the fuel filter be changed every 20,000-30,000 miles, which, given the average 13,000 miles per year that Americans drive, is about once every year and a half to two years. However, newer vehicles can have fuel filters that last up to 60,000 miles.
What happens if you install fuel filter wrong way?
The flow direction on the filter is probably more about efficiency and construction than about filtering effectiveness. The consequences of installing it backwards would be things like the reversed pressure differential across the filter causing the media to move and restrict flow.
Should a fuel filter be full of fuel?
A lawnmower fuel filter should be full to improve the fuel’s pressure and efficiency in the combustion process. A half-full filter indicates there’s not enough fuel going to the chamber.
