Does ethanol usage lead to plugged fuel filters?
Ethanol can loosen contaminants and residues that have been deposited by previous gasoline usage, which can collect in the fuel filter. This problem has happened occasionally in older cars, which often have a lot of residue buildup, and can easily be corrected by changing the fuel filter. Symptoms of a plugged fuel filter will be hesitation, misfiring, and a general loss of power. Once your car’s fuel system is clean, you may note improved performance.
