Diesel or gas?

[sepskee]

gas user ever since natuto ako magmaneho - diesel naman sa next na oto

[kagalingan]

ito pinapaalala ko sa mga naka gasoline engine at less than 5years or 20,000kms pinapalitan na agad fuel filter. Si honda philippines favorite nya yan every 2years ang palit!!!!!!! Sa hanbook nga 80,000kms pa.


"Diesel fuel is by nature, quite dirty, so it makes sense that the fuel filter is one of the most important filters on any diesel application. They usually require a change every 10,000 to 15,000 miles whereas a modern gasoline fuel filter could go 100K+ miles before a change is needed – if at all."

i haven't replaced my fuel filter in my 2005 diesel innova, for over 100K km already.
even the owner's manual does not mention replacement schedule. what it says, is to "look out for the warning light".
no sign of clogging whatsoever.

as with many refined petroleum products, the cleanliness of diesel fuel has dramatically improved thru the years.

back in the 90s,
my diesel besta's engine died on me, due to fuel starvation.
it seems, i forgot to replace the fuel filter at its 36K (or 39K?) km schedule.

bottomline,
"follow your vehicle's pms schedule".
replace it ahead of schedule? "it won't do the engine or your wallet, significant harm." magkano lang ba naman 'yan?
heh heh.

^ eh bakit monstero lagi problemado.

my brother-in-law has had one for several years now. it does not give him problems.
my colleague also has had one, going on four years now. heavy user, as he goes home to the province every weekend. no problems din daw.

errr,
what problems does the monstero have daw, according to your sources?

[kagalingan]

doc,

Ang monstero pag pinaabot 100thou kms walang palitan fuel filter magwawild lalo yan hahaha

Ibig ko sabihin hindi gasolina ang diesel. Gasoline = drive & forget.
