Possibly bad seals on the filter. Had one earlier this year that would do the same. Changed the filter for a Bosch model and the problem went away.

Pros: problem went away

Cons: bad seals

Vehicle: Renault Kangoo

I replaced my fuel filter/regulator with a new one from Bosch, and the little rubber fuel injection hoses connected to it.

After I cycled ignition like 5 times to build fuel pressure it started to make this sound.

Struggled a bit after starting it but after 20 seconds settled and it now drives good.

Car feels solid no lack of power or nothing.

I dare to say it even drives better than before.

Pros: drives better than before, car feels solid

Cons: struggled a bit after starting

Vehicle: BMW

Wix fuel filters from rock auto are a great alternative and a fraction of the cost. I’ve been using them for about 5 years on the same model JGC

Pros: great alternative, long-term use

Vehicle: Jeep Grand Cherokee

I was able to remove the inner part of the WIX filter element while replacing the filter for some inspection. It was solid black. I drained the fuel that was in the housing of the used filter into a container and it had black flakes in it.

Cons: solid black, black flakes

Hi I replaced my OE VW Audi fuel filter with a Wix. Everyone on Reddit seemed to say it would be okay. Now my fuel filter is leaking and I cannot drive the TDI or get to work this week. I replaced the O-rings.

Cons: fuel filter leaking

Vehicle: Volkswagen

The wix oil filters worked well for me. The fuel filters not so much, I had a fuel water separator failure and injector failures because the wix filter was slightly shorter than the Mopar filters that I've been using.

Pros: oil filters worked well

Cons: fuel filter failure
