Fuel is refined, transferred, stored, and shipped. Along the way it can get contaminated. The filter is used to trap any contaminates thus preventing them from clogging fuel injectors and costing you big money. Replace your fuel filter every 50,000 miles.


How do you replace the fuel filter in a 2004 Dodge Neon?

You don't. The fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank and is a permanent filter. _________________________________________________________________ You can actually replace the filter, but it means replacing the entire fuel pump. You can, however, get under the car and pull it out to be sure it does not have anything clogging it up and remove it if there is. The filter isn't sold separate from the pump though.

Yes it can.... if the fuel is so cold it will start to get wax crystals in it. Therefore the engine is not getting enough fuel and you will lose power and is clogging up your fuel filter.

How can you tell by troubleshooting if your problem is the fuel pump?

pressure test line comming from fuel tank,one of two ways,1.disconect line from fuel filter on side where fuel line connects from fuel tank,if pressure 26psi to 35psi reconnect line to filter and check your line on other side of filter if pressure holds your fuel pump and fuel filter are ok,the other way is to disconnect inlet line from tank to fuel regulator and check your fuel pressure,the only thing with this method is if your fuel filter is clogging or clogged you will not get an accurate fuel psi.you can also check your fuel regulator,you fuses,or your relays to anything that has to do with your,depending on what type of car you have
