Hi agin...

Also juz replaced my Gaga punya fuel filter...
@39+k Km only...
Look @ how black the fuel in it is...
More like Kopi-O kawkaw!
& it was worse...with sediment inside sample fr tank side!




Normal?
Imagine wat it wld b like @60k Km...

ps. Mayb it was our Gaga petrol tank quality...poor inner coating/protection...?
Or our fuel...reacting with it?

Honestly..never saw fuel like this in my ole Saga 1.5I after 20+ years!!

Whoa, it's dark like that with only 40k km?! I'm gonna change my fuel filter soon too, haha

How old is your car by the way? Does your car feel any different? Like easier starting maybe?

Where did you get that cover...

I don't think is fuel tank issue because I've remove my fuel pump assembly and entire fuel tank before. Mostly due to dirt in fuel that causes this. Accumulated dirt. Also our fuel pump assembly before going into fuel pump got a round filter also. When I change my fuel pump I saw an insect inside the canister already dead before going into the fuel pump.

hi guys.. long time ago i bought this item from a fellow forumer in this thread.. but havent got the chance to apply it.. can i still use it or does it have an expiration date? sorry for a noob question..

Hi Bro...

Tks a meg 4sharing yr experience there!

In my old Saga, the fuel filter is juz b4 the carb...
And i cld see the colour of petrol in it (plastic translucent casing)...
It was NEVER black at all!!

Cld it possibly b due2 degradation of colour dyes added 2our fuel nowadays?
Bcos we keep on topping up our fuel in the tank...retaining parts of some old fuel?
Reli dunno...

Any other possibilities...besides accumulated dirt as abv?
Can anyone else enlighten us, pls?
Tqvm in adv.

Note : Even the petrol coming out after the filter was also BLACK!! Minus the sediment...

Hi Bro...

Shake up 1 can...
Till yu can feel the liquid being shaken/mixed up inside eg hear sound of ball bearing agitator inside?
Then spray test it...

Best wishes & Good Luck!!

The black colour must likely due to accumulated dirt from the petrol itself. Maybe that time the batch of fuel that time has more impurities. I'm just guessing coz my fuel filter changed at 60k was not as dirty as yours still transparent just darker colour

Hi Bro...

Guess can juz attribute my case 2that stroke of "bad luck" ?
Wrong place..wrong time to fill up that time lo...

However me hv seen videos posted on FBk which show worse conditions of fuel in fuel filters of our Gagas!
Thk God mine wasn't that bad...yet!!

Coz fuel is external stuff that goes into our car and we pump at different stations and at different time so we can't be sure all the fuel quality is same at all station including cleaness. Like how some station ppl find got water inside. Also come to think of it if car manufacturers think fuel is always clean they also won't put a fuel filter in the 1st place so I believe car manufacturer have taken the possibility in mind hence we have things like fuel filter, oil filter and air filter. Coz If u see how petrol station they measure they underground tank balance they open up the floor cover sure during that time will have stuff or dirt fall inside.

Hi agin, Bro...

Many tks 4yr valued comments!!
Yup, we..and our cars...live in a very "dirty" world...

So...filters are seen as an integral part of our lives AND of our cars...
Frankly filters for air, EO, fuel are not reli expensive...kinda cheap...
Changing filters regularly & ( if affordable..more frequently?) wld b a gr8 preventive maintenance for any car in its care so as 2serve us well....
Tqvm 4yr contributions here!

ps. Me am very happy me decided 2chk earlier (@39+k Km) than stipulated 60k Km interval!
That action was indeed a blessing. ..

I wonder how you guys solved when your front mirror start to fogging since don't have direct aircond blow to the mirror

for me,always stand by a mirco fibre cloth

Hi Bro...

Front w/screen misting up?
Inside cabin?
Juz increase cooling of air (airspeed...temp setting?) by aircon in cabin...

myvi has standard aircond setting to blow directly at front w/screen...wonder why gaga don't have

use anti-fog spray.
ammonia base solution
vinegar..
any one will do.
or set aircon temperature cooler

As ppl alwaz say...
Myvi = Myvi
Gaga = Gaga

Juz like...
You = You
He = He
True?

Anyway...IINM Exported Gaga S16 has such features...even a heater!!

ps. My old 1992 Saga 1.5I had vents that blow air to w/screen...selective ctrls...
Even has outlet that blows cool air 2driver's knees!! Haha!!
Present day local Gagas still hv those vents but only not connected 2aircon airflow...
