Re: New JTD diesel fuel filter improves economy?

This is so unlogical that filter changes mpg at all... It might cause issues, but I'm not sure that it can improve anything.

Re: New JTD diesel fuel filter improves economy?

Doing it that way is the Fiat recommended procedure (from eLearn)

It might look long winded but sounds like it works out easier in practice
