How to Change the Fuel Filter on a Petrol Car

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Fuel filter

In this video, we will address whether it is necessary to change the fuel filter: the answer is definitely YES. In this case, it was a dual-fuel petrol/LPG vehicle, and as often happens, the owner had always driven on LPG - and we should know that this is a serious mistake - indeed, the petrol in the filter had literally gone bad, to the point that the filter had even rusted, causing evident electrical contact issues. Given that the car was over fifteen years old, it was clear that this had never been changed. In fact, the car was running poorly (not only because of this, but it contributed) precisely because regular maintenance had never been carried out properly, and probably low-quality products had been used.
