I tried to search online for info on this, but couldn’t find any. I found a study that showed silver and white cars are cooler. Unless, you were just being sarcastic.

Seriously though, I change fuel filters every 12k miles when I do an oil change because I fuel at cheapo sketchy gas stations. -
What kind of service intervals were they talking about in class?

The only way to know whats going on with the fuel filters is to run a fuel pressure gauge, plumbed after the filters. Once you start losing fuel pressure you know the filters need changing. I suppose if plumbed after the fuel pump but before the secondary filter, pressure would increase once the filters have passed service life. But the first way seems better.
I once read about a guy who tested this theory and went over 60k miles before his filters were limiting fuel supply. Changing them at oil change time is probably more than adequate.
I just recently installed an autometer 0-100psi gague in my truck with detroit 60 engine. unfortunutely im hitting 100psi at only 1400rpm. I should have gone with a teltek 0-300psi gague.Last edited: Dec 31, 2018
