How often should you change the fuel filter on a Mustang?
The fuel filter plays a vital role in your Mustang’s fuel system. Unfiltered fuel contains dirt and debris which cause pre-mature failure to other fuel related components such as lines and injectors. Replacing the fuel pump is something you should do fairly often. In most cases, Ford recommends every thirty thousand miles on applicable vehicles.
