Yes. If your fuel filter is clogged with stuff, it will let only a certain amount of fuel past. When you ask your system to exceed that amount, your filter will not allow additional fuel to come through. Your car literally runs out of fuel and you have no idea why. You are still able to start it up and make it run real slow. Since it is a late model car, the mechanic asks you, "How long has the check engine light been on?" You tell him. He says, "You dummy. Why didn't you bring it in before this?"

They are both very important. But a clogged fuel filter will stop the engine from even running.

Replace the air filter every 30,000 miles and the fuel filter every 50,000 miles.
