Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments herein relate to fuel monitoring systems and related methods. In an embodiment, a fuel monitoring system for a vehicle is included having a fuel filter sensor device configured to generate data reflecting a filter restriction value of a fuel filter, a geolocation circuit configured to generate or receive geolocation data, and a system control circuit configured to evaluate the sensor data to determine changes in the filter restriction value. The control circuit can receive fuel level data, cross-reference geolocation data and fuel level data to identify refueling locations utilized, and correlate refueling locations with subsequent changes in filter restriction to identify an effect of specific refueling locations on fuel filter loading. In some embodiments, a refueling guidance system for a vehicle is included that can provide route and/or refueling site recommendations based on fuel filter loading rate data. Other embodiments are also included herein.
