fuel filter
Sediment-catching car part
A fuel filter is a device that removes contaminants from gasoline or diesel before it reaches the engine.
Located along the fuel line, it traps dirt, rust particles, and other debris that could damage fuel injectors or carburetors.
Fuel filters require periodic replacement as they become clogged: The mechanic recommended changing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles.
