Application
Suitable for Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945) and Hotchkiss M201. The fuel filter with glass or metal bowl was fitted as standard on the bonnet or firewall of these vehicles. The bowl contains the filtration element that removes sediment and contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the carburettor.
Installation notes
The bowl is mounted beneath the filter head with a central bolt. Always use new gaskets when replacing the bowl. Check that fuel lines are correctly marked (in/out arrows). Fill the bowl with clean fuel during assembly to prevent air locks.
Compatibility
Fits Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201 with fuel filter on bonnet or firewall. Note: early MB/GPW vehicles had the filter on the firewall, later versions (from late 1945 onwards) in a different location. Check the mounting position on your vehicle. The bowl is sold separately; filter cartridge and gaskets are supplied separately.
Historical context
The fuel filter with glass or metal bowl was an essential component of the fuel system on WWII jeeps. The system allowed visual inspection of fuel quality and filtration of sediment - crucial during field conditions with varying fuel quality.
