United Alpha Losing Power on Acceleration — Is the Fuel Filter Clogged?

My United Alpha struggles to accelerate, especially when going uphill o r overtaking. The engine feels like it’s choking o r not getting enough fuel. This problem gets worse when the fuel tank is low. Could a clogged fuel filter be causing this? What symptoms should I look for before replacing it?

A clogged fuel filter is one of the most common causes of power loss in the United Alpha, especially in Pakistan where fuel quality can vary. When the filter becomes restricted, it reduces fuel flow to the engine, making the car feel weak when accelerating.

Signs your fuel filter may be clogged

Slow o r delayed acceleration

Engine feels like it’s choking under load

Jerks o r hesitation when pressing the accelerator

Power loss more noticeable when fuel tank is low

Occasional engine misfire o r sputtering

What to do

Check when the fuel filter was last replaced recommendation: every 20,000–30,000 km.

Inspect the fuel lines for dirt o r contamination.

If acceleration is consistently weak, the fuel filter should be replaced immediately.

A clogged filter, if ignored, can strain the fuel pump and cause further damage.
