To locate the fuel filter we will start by telling you the role of a fuel filter on Renault Clio 2. Then we will tell you when should a fuel filter be replaced on Renault Clio 2.
Then we will show you where is the fuel filter located on Renault Clio 2. The engine of a Renault Clio 2 needs to be supplied with air and fuel to function properly. This mixture will be studied using the flow meter so as to guarantee the best air-fuel proportions for the engine. So in the same way that the air filter cleans the air essential to the engine, the fuel filter will filter the fuel as important. A good clean fuel air mixture offers the possibility of having an optimized use of the engine, while guaranteeing the best possible combustion.
Therefore when this is maximized you will consume less and your engine will run at full power. On the other hand when your fuel filter is clogged, in this case it will limit the fuel flow and will distort the calculations of the flow meter. This will lead to overconsumption of fuel and a loss of power in your vehicle. So the function of the fuel filter is to remove all the residues contained in the fuel of your vehicle before it is injected into the engine.
Consulting : to preserve your engine, you will also be advised not to drive with the fuel tank almost empty because the residue at the bottom of the pump could run up to the engine and damage it. Now that you know what a fuel filter is for, you can ask yourself when should it be replaced to ensure that it is always efficient? As a general rule, you will need to check the fuel filter approximately every 40 kilometers.
So approximately every year or at most every years. This is the reason why you must specify it when servicing your vehicle. But be aware that it won't be necessary to replace it every time, as more and more manufacturers are installing more robust filters that have a longer life. Now that you understand the usefulness of a fuel filter it is possible to ask yourself when is it necessary to replace it in order to ensure that it is always effective? Usually, the fuel filter should be checked approximately every 40 kilometers.
So about every year or at most every two years. Moreover, you must specify it during the overhaul of your vehicle. But be aware that it will not be mandatory to change it every time, because more and more manufacturers are integrating more efficient filters that have a longer life.
Especially when they are integrated into the injection pump. This is the reason why you will be able to find vehicles whose recommendations advise replacing filters every kilometers. In all cases, it is advisable to look at the maintenance guide for your Renault Clio 3. For more details on when to replace the fuel filter in your Renault Clio 3, we recommend that you read the article below: When to change the fuel filter on Renault Clio 3 ".

In all cases, the fuel filter of your Renault Clio 3 will be on the supply circuit. So it will be located between the tank and the carburetor. You will be able to tell it apart because it is shaped like a cylinder with two rods and it is connected by two hoses.
Finally, depending on the year, the fuel filter will sometimes be located between the two rear wheels, close to the fuel tank so if you want to replace it you have to access under the vehicle. On the other hand, for more recent models it is also possible to find the fuel filter close to the engine on the front of your Renault Clio 3.
