Recognizable Symptoms of a Clogged Fuel Tank
Screen Filter in Your Mercedes
2
One important issue not to be overlooked in your
Mercedes is the fuel tank screen filter.
3
Mercedes designed the engine very intentionally
to avoid getting damaging debris in the engine.
4
The screen filter grabs large debris that would
damage the smaller and more refined filters down
the line.
5
Here are the symptoms of a clogged fuel tank
screen filter in your Mercedes.
6
Check engine light
7
This may sound silly, but all too often drivers
ignore this warning light, thinking a tire is
just a little low on air.
8
Remember, the fuel screen filter is intended to
catch large pieces of debris floating through.
9
So remember that it is not a problem when the
filter has become little clogged as that means it
is functioning properly.
10
So paying attention to a check engine warning is
an easy way to catch this issue in its early
stages.
11
Misfiring or difficulty starting
12
As mentioned above, the removal of debris in fuel
maintains proper operation of the remainder of
the fuel system.
13
If the filter is becoming clogged and overall
flow is impeded, the ignition or spark plugs may
be the first parts to suffer.
14
This will not initially damage the car but if the
filter is not cleaned or replaced, then it can
damage the other systems.
15
A failing fuel pump
16
More serious, and probably a sign that the filter
has been dirty for some time, is damage to the
fuel pump.
17
When the fuel flow is impeded more burden is
placed on the fuel pump to maintain the same
power and performance.
18
Preventative maintenance, such as keeping the
filters clean, will result in other parts itself
operating optimally.
