Product description

A fuel filter mounted in the supply line was used for the first time with the 1303 Beetle instead of a small screen in the tank.

The other models had to wait until 1975 before the factory fitted a filter in line with the petrol hose, which was a lot quicker to change than the filter in the petrol tank. The models with an injection engine were the big exception, these were delivered ex works with a filter in the supply hose.

This filter can be found between the fuel hose directly after the tank, so not in the engine compartment. If your car does not have a petrol filter in line with the petrol hose, it is still advisable to fit one. It filters the petrol before it reaches the carburetor to prevent clogging of the nozzles. If there is a filter in your petrol tank, it can break down while you don't notice it, an extra petrol filter gives you more certainty and you won't have any surprises along the way.

Buses with a Diesel engine are also equipped with a filter that filters dirt and moisture from the fuel. At the bottom of the filter there is a drain option. It must be drained with every service. It is advisable to replace the fuel filter at every major service, the costs for this are not high, so why should you take the risk of coming to a standstill due to a flooded filter?

Attention! Filters with hose pillars must always be fitted with hose clamps, take these with you (see tab options).
