Chevrolet Nova Fuel Filter

In the Chevrolet Nova vehicles, the Fuel Filter is an important part of the fuel system with the task of protecting the engine from such abrasive particles as dirt, rust, and water which causes wear of various parts and lowered efficiency. Usually, the Fuel Filter is installed betweeen the fuel tank and the engine, and the filter is built with replaceable cartridges or spin-on type. In carbureted Novas, the filter is installed between the mechanical fuel pump and carburetor whereas in EFI version it is situates either under the car or in the engine bay. Cleaning of the Fuel Filter is very crucial since accumulation of dirt affects the flow of fuel and affects the performance of the engine to provide smooth fuel supply to the engine. Additional options in Diesel Nova models could have water separators and fuel heaters together with other filters to ensure that water does not penetrate in the fuel system and also to minimize the production of paraffin wax within the fuel system.
