oh so then the one I just installed will just deteriorate again in a few months...


>>also today while driving my car suddenly shut off. I figured hmm electrical or fuel pump line again. As sure enough it was. The first line lasted 4 days while this one lasted 20 days what's going. Do i have wrong fuel line.

Is there any sort of maintenance schedule for the fuel filter?
My car is starting to have an issue and I can't tell if it is pump or filter. Would be nice to know if there was some "scheduled maintenance" that I missed on it or if it is supposed to be a lifetime.

Rule of mechanical thumb is trying to change the filters at least once a year at least as far as a regular scheduled maintenance. If our cars were still new it would be after the first 50,000 miles were put on to have it changed or cleaned, however with age comes the chances for debris and rust so its better to clean or change yearly.

Wow really? I have some serious doubts that any of the previous owners have changed it on my car, and for the past 3.5 years I haven't either, only thing I do is run chemical additives and use good fuel.

I assume the repercussions of my actions, or lack thereof, is deposits going into the fuel injections or engine? Which is no bueno
