Best Answer

Yes. Had a 1994 Suburban 4X4 with 350 V8. Started loosing power at about 184,000 miles. Had fuel filter changed by rear gas tank, frame, mount. It cost $64 at Jiffy Lube to have it changed. The old filter clogged and blocked about 1/2 the fuel flow at 184,000. Trunk ran like new after that, so I have them changed at about 100,000 miles now. What a difference!

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.
