Would cloged fuel filter cause rough acceleration?

Yes, a clogged fuel filter can cause rough acceleration. When the filter is blocked, it restricts the flow of fuel to the engine, leading to insufficient fuel delivery. This can result in poor engine performance, including hesitation or rough acceleration, as the engine struggles to get the fuel it needs to operate smoothly. Regular maintenance, including replacing the fuel filter, can help prevent this issue.
