Truck losing power, "check fuel filter" popping up. I replaced the filters already but it's still losing power. What can it be? Volvo 670 with D13 2016
Clogged fuel filter

I also had the SA 16 DTC P016F00 fault code pop up on a 2019 VNL 860 with a D13 engine that I recently purchased in Indiana. I know the truck had been sitting from October until I drove it off if the lot on March 7th (with less than a quarter tank of fuel. I figured that it had probably gone bad. After I topped her off in Whiteland IN I made it 40 miles east of Amarillo when the truck suddenly lost power. Not the typical derate where the truck counts down to a 5 mph crawl, but just an apparent loss of power (probably about 40-50%. Bruckner’s Volvo runs the dyno and determines that the fuel filters were clogged. I had them change em’ out (the main fuel filter and the water fuel separator)…both of which are located on the driver-side of the engine inside the frame unlike most that you see that are located outside the frame on the passenger side). Over the next couple of weeks the truck does this load of power thing intermittently but gradually got worse. I had speedco in Kingman change the filters out again and the problem is gone. By the time I completed my 10 hour break the check engine light even went off. Hell of stressful but I glad to know that it’s a simple fix. Just takes some time to get out of the system.
Peace! -
