Fuel Filter And Pressure Regulator Assembly

A fuel filter helps ensure your engine receives clean fuel as it passes through the system. In some cases, it may be combined with a fuel pressure regulator to ensure the fuel does not exceed the operating pressure of the engine. If your fuel pressure is too high, this may cause your engine to run rich and result in unburned gasoline and black smoke from the exhaust. Conversely, too little fuel pressure can starve the vehicle of fuel, and which can be caused by a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump. This may result in misfires, lack of power and acceleration, or trouble starting your vehicle. If you notice any of these symptoms, check the condition of your fuel filter and pressure regulator. If you need a replacement, shop O'Reilly Auto Parts and find the right fuel filter and pressure regulator assembly for your vehicle.
