Fuel is never 100 percent clean. Grains of sand, dust and water may contaminate the fuel when refuelling.
The fuel filter has to clean the fuel from substances that damage the fuel system's components, e.g., the injection pump and injectors, and cause corrosion.
Advantages of genuine Volvo fuel filters:
- specially designed filter element that can
handle both the varying operating pressures
and vibrations in the fuel system,
without affecting filtration capacity
- elastic rubber seal that eliminates the risk of
leaks, even in extremely tough operating
conditions
- high dirt capacity which gives long service
intervals
