Modern vehicle’s fuel system consists of: Gas tank, fuel supply line, gas filter, injectors or throttle body, pressure regulator, fuel return line, and a vapor line. Here is a brief description of each component.

Gas tank: holds the gas, and houses the fuel pump.

Fuel pump: Delivers gas (under pressure) to the injectors. Also keeps the fuel in continuous circulation to prevent air or vapor locks.

Gas filter: Filters all the fuel in circulation, though should not cause any flow restriction

Injector: Delivers the gas right at the valves, in a fine atomized spray pattern.

Fuel pressure regulator: Controls the fuel pressure to the required operating pressure, by dumping the extra fuel back to the tank, via the return line, thus maintaining the continuous flow.

A clogged gas filter

Restricts the gas flow.

Causes starvation.

Causes pump overloading and consequently shortens it’s life.

May cause hard starting, especially after a long sitting.
