Will driving your car after sitting for 5 years cause it to have a fuel filter problem?

It very well could become clogged. I would recommend you pump all the fuel out of the tank which is no longer any good. Fuel goes bad after 1 year. Add at least 5 gallons of fresh fuel and a can of Seafoam or Techron fuel injector cleaner. Remove the fuel filter and install a new one. Start the engine and drive it to the nearest fuel station and fill it up. If you have been driving the car then just remove the filter and replace it. Fill the tank and add a can of Seafoam or Techron.
