Here is a good reason to change your fuel filter. After 300,000 miles on the same fuel filter, I cut it in half so we can see how dirty the filter is and so we can do a flow test! I also check a fuel filter with 130k miles and another with 30k miles to compare the three fuel filters.

I had gas in my eyes before
Awesome video dude, thank for showing us.
Çok güzel bir video olmuş ve tam da bunu arıyordum. Ben hep Mann filtresi kullanıyorum ve bu sefer 55 bin km. de (6 yıl) yenisini takacağım. ❤❤❤
Thank you for this excellent and creative video.
Sick video, had no idea. Changing my filter asap.
I love this cos everytime you go buy service they just put in fuel filter but as I know I know when to service what?
How often with premium fuel?
damn, now why my Mazda car acts up like it can't get gas, I need that filter change out.
Awesome flow test. I thought they were hooked to the injector tester for a second and was expecting a huge mess
I just changed mine and thought what does the inside look like…….and there it was…brilliant
Maybe your miles per gallon will decrease now??? 😂
too bad newer cars put the filter and pump inside a nearly sealed unit in the tank
Depends also, on where you buy your gas. In Connecticut, refined gas is tested often, the gas station holding tanks are all fiberglass now, so no rust like from the old underground metal tanks, and the holding tanks are vented to avoid condensation. My last filter was changed at over 100,000 miles on a 17 year old car. It was still clean…..almost like new. In Texas years ago, I had a 1991 Acura, and that filter at 100,000 miles and 15 years was filthy beyond belief. I suspect it was from gas station metal holding tanks.
Thank a lot, Kid ! I honestly do appreciate it . Good job even for me (50 years old 😂)
Man I would love to see in to the spark plugs on the van with 300k to see how a clean filter can affect engine cleanliness
Wish I watched this before changing my filter a few hours ago, I was wondering how to stop fuel from spitting out when disconnecting the filter 😅
Thanks Chris! changing my 80k filter tomorrow. Fantastic!
just changed mine after only 90k miles and honestly it was just as filthy as the 300k mile filter
Such an incredible video! Can’t wait to change my filter. Hadn’t done it since I bought my car new in 2013 😬 oops lol.
I just had two gas fuel filters come apart!! The glue holding the cartridge media to the housing dissolved and it was loose inside , Any and all the collected dirt etc went right into engine along with the dissolved glue. In addition the loose media was intermittently blocking the outflow and over pressuring the fuel pump. Almost sure ethanol is the problem and any additives or increase is making things worse. Maybe a test of filters vs ethanol is in order?????
Have a 2007 Pontiac G5 2.2L at 224+KM. I changed a lot of original parts: tie rod end, sway bar links, rear wheel suspensions, steering shaft, turn signal switch, blower motor & blower motor resistor, control arm, mass air flow sensor, positive crank ventilation hose, ball joint, wheel bearing, front & rear brakes, rotor. I think this is all. Done over the years, especially after front wheel work. Still having problems with heater turning on and off though. Going to hopefully have fuel filter changed today.
Really informative. I learned something new and helped me understand how important changing the fuel filter is. I have a 96 Ford Explorer V6 and I don’t know when the fuel filter was replaced in mine. I just picked up a filter today and plan to change it in the coming days.
odd as you said the 300k has a string around it and you waited soo long to change it LOL and odd the 130k has debris that past the oring 🙂 in it 🤔and the 30k not bad ")
I am extremely amazed the fuel pump survived having to work so hard. But I've noticed older Ford fuel pumps are unusually strong.
That was an awesome video. Now when I change my filter tomorrow , I will do it exactly the way you did it. Thank you.
The question is how much influence do injector cleaners have on the filter, it seems to me that it becomes dirty and clogged more quickly due to loose dirt from the tank and if you often empty your tank into the reserve tank
change them max 10.000 miles not 30.000 if you want to keep your car working….
its 2023 and i just love this video!
So dirty fuel filter can ware off the fuel pump causing the pump to work more than its requirements. Cars are very sensitive motor engineering products that behave like or less than people but without spirit. Surely they need care, respected and maintain. If you don't like maintenance forgot owning a car. Some are good cars (aka Toyota), some moderate cars (aka Kia) and some are garbage metal products (German cars).
Chris safety awareness on cutting fuel filter cartridge was exaggerated
Interesting video. Although I'm surprised you would've let the WinStar keep it original fuel filter at 300,000 miles. But it's encouraging that the filter material hasn't dissolved and really messed things up
I've had for many years older Mercedes and a lot messier to change than your WinStar
For one you've got a clamp off the main fuel hose from the tank or gas will be pouring out the bottom
But interesting video; thank you
My car has 155k miles with factory fuel filter. Pretty similar to the one on your truck.
Awesome. I just replaced the fuel filter in my 96 Audi A4 2.8 and the throttle response is super good now and requires so much less input to get going. Only 20-ish thousand miles on it but just darn old so was probably gummed up. Not no more.
Hoping this fixes my Lexus sc300, it accelerates normal but when I give it hard gas it hesitates and then when it gets warm it will start to hesitate on any load. And when it’s in park warm it won’t rev all the way
I believe this is what caused my fuel pump to burn up. My truck has 390k on it and I just put a new fuel pump in it today. 3rd one in 2 years and I believe I have a dirty fuel filter. Truck wont idle and wants to fall on its face when I try accelerating any at all. I put the new fuel pump in it and it still wont idle. I can tap on the fuel filter while its rough idling and it will sound normal. I need to get me a new one but I dont have a way to the store and I dont have a card to buy one off line. Guess I'm walking
i would have used a can opener
