How often should we change fuel filter?
On my D2 I changed fuel filter 3 years ago and made 30000 miles. Time to change it again?
How often fuel filter needs to be changed?

I'm not sure there's a stated change interval for the petrol engines? Don't have my service book in front of me but would expect it to be listed if it is.
I know I've changed mine too, but only because I couldn't find a record of it being done before

I would say yes Sergey but theres no stated interval on autodata or tolerance which is the bibles used by workshops, which to me is a tad odd.
I changed mine last major service last autumn as I feel it should be done every 3 years or 30,000 miles. It seems crazy to me to have a filter in line then not recommend changing it at certain intervals!
