Preventing Contaminants Ensure Smooth Performance

Anthony Fontanelle
September 21, 2007

As a solution, vehicles were invented to provide faster means of transportation and travel. The passing of time also brought along with it countless automobile modifications carried out to address changing needs of individuals and society. Parts, in turn, went through constant upgrades and new features were added to cars while car technologies were conceived of and developed. These constant changes extended to every part of the car, including to oil and fuel filters. Admittedly, the oil filter as well as fuel filter are two of the most unpopular system components of a car. However, engineered and modified to ensure laudable engine performance and efficiency, these parts prove how equally important they are to a car.

Automakers, such as the German-based Audi, whose four-ring logo has become easily recognizable, have integrated new innovations into its development and manufacture of an Audi Fuel Filter and Audi Oil Filter. Audi has enhanced these filters to complement a number of the latest car technologies they employed. Since most Audi vehicles come with fuel injected engines, the Audi Fuel Filter fulfills a necessary role in the system. Responsible for draining out all fuel contaminants before they reach the cylinder, an Audi Fuel Filter ensures that nothing ruins the combustion process. The Audi Fuel Filter is usually made from premium grade and high-pressurized canister packed with quality filter material. It is usually put along the fuel lines, secured with either a clamp or special fitting device able to guarantee reliable connection and installation. Since fuel initially contains contaminants that spring from paint chips that enter through the tank as well as dust that gets inside when cars are being refueled, having a fuel filter that can do the job well is certainly a must.

Another device known for preventing contaminants is the Audi Oil Filter. Oil is a necessity in any car as lubrication of the car parts is highly needed to ensure smooth road performance. And of course, when performance is ideal, stands to reason that the components of one's car stands a good chance of lasting longer than one may have even expected. Thus, hydraulic failures that may occur due to the wear potentially brought on by particles that find their way into the engine oil must be dealt with. To prevent these particles from going into the hydraulic system, the Audi Oil Filter is installed on the side of the engine block and is used. The primary function of this part is to filter out the particles found in the oil that can get in the way of the oil's circulation. Another function it does is retain a small amount of oil in its anti-drain back valve whenever the engine is turned off. Thus, whichever one of these Audi Filters one may settle on, there's no escaping the fact that both help in ensuring an efficient and smooth performance—proving, once and for all, the decided importance of these car components.
