If the diesel fuel specification doesn't meet the EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. If there are some important safety

matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately regardless

of maintenance schedule and we recommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.
