Dear John,

May this find You well. Fuel filters are not costly and should be changed at 50,000 mile (80,000 Km) intervals. If the one on your car is original, it doesn't owe you a penny. I'd change it, simply because it is long past time to do so.

Do you recall an instance of the car running completely out of fuel? Running dry stresses the pump - it over-heats - and may account for a premature failure. The in-tank pumps on Rex-Regina-equipped cars seem to last at least 150,000 miles, based on Brickboard posts I've read.

Knock sensors and engine computers only rarely fail on B230 engines.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
