Sure it is possible. That is why it is important to replace the fuel filter every 36,000 miles. A dirty fuel filter will cause the fuel pump to work harder and cause it to fail prematurely.


Would a dirty fuel filter on a 1996 n reg punto 55s make it run badly?

Check your fuel filter for blockage/fuel flow 1st, then check fuel pump delivery pressure and volume with a pressure gauge( best get an EFI repairer to do this), bad / dirty air filter - check it, or bad / dirty fuel in tank, work from this and re post if no luck - good luck

How often do you replace your fuel filter?

A partially clogged fuel filter can cause the fuel pump to work harder and in the end cause premature fuel pump failure. Due to how expensive it is to replace a fuel pump, I recommend you replace the fuel filter every 50,000 miles. Cheap insurance against pump failure.

Absolutely, a clogged filter means the pump has to work harder causing the motor to overheat and eventually burn out.


How often should you change your fuel pump?

Replacing the fuel pump is not a schedule maintenance item. You replace the fuel pump when it fails. However, you do need to replace the fuel filter at a regular interval. I recommend you replace the fuel filter every 50,000 miles if it is replaceable. A partially clogged fuel filter will cause the fuel pump to work very hard to pump fuel to the engine. This will cause the fuel pump to fail prematurely. So replace your fuel filter every 50,000 miles and you may never have to replace the fuel pump.
