Fuel Filter
Can a fuel filter (4 months old) still "flow" yet give a low psi at the FPR (20 psi)??


God Bless
John

Not trying to be smart about it, but 4 months OR 4 minutes doesn't matter, what does matter is how much trash has it collected....

So to answer your question, yes it could if you have junk in your fuel..

No offense taken, but can it still flow (checked with line off and turned key on) but yet only give 20 psi.

Thanks

Before or after the filter? More pressure before the filter and less with filter connected = plugged filter.
