🚗 A dirty fuel filter restricts fuel flow, causing serious performance issues.

🔴 Symptoms of a Blocked Fuel Filter:
✔️ Engine Stalling o r Hesitation – Low fuel supply disrupts combustion.
✔️ Difficulty Starting – Fuel flow is inconsistent, causing longer cranking.
✔️ Engine Misfires – Insufficient fuel leads to incomplete combustion.
✔️ Power Loss at High Speeds – Engine struggles to get enough fuel at high RPMs.
✔️ Check Engine Light – Fuel system pressure is out of range.

📌 Solution: Replace the fuel filter every 40,000 - 50,000 km or sooner if fuel quality is poor.
