VARIATIONS
Fuel filters occur in a variety of locations. Typical locations
include in the fuel pump, fuel tank, carburetor, or in-line between the engine
and fuel tank.
Some cars will have multiple fuel filters, each for a specific purpose. One may remove dirt particles; another may trap water and condensation.
Most fuel filters are disposable and generally utilize a paper element, though some are still made of porous bronze. Some filters, such as for diesel engines, can be cleaned and reused.
