Kütusefilterite

Kütusefilterite refers to fuel filters in Estonian. A fuel filter is a component in a vehicle's fuel system that is designed to remove contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the engine. These contaminants can include dirt, rust, and other particles that may be present in the fuel tank or introduced during refueling.

The primary function of a fuel filter is to protect the engine's fuel injectors and other sensitive fuel system components from damage. Clogged or dirty injectors can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased emissions. By trapping these impurities, the fuel filter ensures a clean supply of fuel, allowing the engine to operate optimally.

Fuel filters are typically made of a porous material, such as paper or synthetic fibers, enclosed in a metal or plastic housing. They are usually located in the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine. The frequency of fuel filter replacement varies depending on the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, fuel quality, and driving conditions, but it is a standard maintenance item. Regular replacement of the fuel filter is crucial for maintaining engine health and preventing costly repairs.
