Can poor quality fuel in Pakistan cause the fuel filter in my BMW to clog faster?

I usually fill up from local petrol stations in Rawalpindi, but I’ve started experiencing engine hesitation. Could this be due to dirty o r contaminated fuel clogging the filter, and how can I prevent this?

Absolutely. Many petrol and diesel stations in Pakistan do not maintain consistent fuel quality standards. Contaminants like dirt, water, o r additives can clog the fuel filter prematurely, causing engine hesitation o r rough running.

Preventive measures:

Use fuel from reputable stations that regularly test quality.

Consider periodic fuel system cleaning services.

Replace the fuel filter as recommended, o r earlier if you notice symptoms like sputtering o r loss of power.
