Life of a fuel filter
 

How often do you guys replace your fuel filters, if at all?

Do they become less efficient and restrictive as they get older? Only reason I ask is because when I fist got the cart, the tank was full of gelled gas/oil. Even after numerous cleaning cycles, the filter got clogged easily and a noticeable performance decrease was noticed. I have since changed it, but does it make that big of a difference?


Thanks

its part of the tune-up...

Thanks guys, good thing I bought an extra one!

you should chanhge them a minimum of 2 times a year i saw one on a C.C. yesterday that was really really dark brown with chunks of black stuff floating around in it.................it needed changed last year.......................................always keep clean fuel filters......at least twice a year........................................... 8)

I just changed it yesterday and all I have to say is YUCK! Once out in the light, I could clearly see black crap plastered all inside the filter element. It was time LOL
