Blockage in the fuel line, remove the fuel line at the fuel pump, and use compressed air to blow thru the line from the feed to the fuel filter, if it blows thru then you dont have a blockage, make sure your fuel pump is coming on when you turn on the key, if not check to see if you have 12 volts at the pump when you turn the key on, if not check the fuel pump relay, if you do have 12 volts at the pump when you turn the key on, check the connections on the fuel pump or replace the fuel pump with a new one. make sure to disconnect the battery before removing the fuel pump.
Yes it can if it is clogged or has an obstruction it will most certainly prevent fuel from entering the engine. Check that you have fuel before the filter (incoming) and then check the output of fuel from the filter.
To escape the engine from entering the dust or particulate matter with fuel
If your carbarator is a quadrajet, the fuel filter is built into the carbarator at the end of the fuel line entering the carb.
To prevent debris from entering fule system
The filters such as the air filter, the oil filter and the fuel filter remove harmful contaminants from entering the system.
The fuel filter is located along the fuel line just prior to the fuel line entering the carburetor. This filter is a metal canister with 3 line fittings.
One filters lubricating oil while the other filters fuel. The filtering media would be of a different type to filter out different contaminants
The most common issue is a fuel filter. It could be a few other things, but the fuel filter is where I would start.
No. The filter will need to be replaced.
Bad fuel, dirt in the fuel filter, dirty air filter.
That would be a good place to start. Also determine if it is stalling from lack of fuel or lack of spark.
There is a fuel filter in the fuel tank, an inline fuel filter in the fuel line and a fuel filter in each fuel injector, so the answer would be 4. The only one that you would typically change would be the inline one on the frame rail.
