Cut gasoline and diesel filters after use

In order for the fuel injection system to have a long life without excessive soot or repairs, the fuel must be filtered to eliminate anything larger than 3 microns. Anything larger will either scratch or wear the internal parts or jam them.

Here we can see several technologies for filtering fuel, including features to compensate for pump vibrations and smooth out the flow of fuel to the engine.
