Compatibility
Fits standard military fuel filter housings as fitted to WWII jeeps. Check before ordering the diameter of the centre mounting stud of your filter bowl: element is for 12mm diameter, not for 13.5mm diameter.

During WWII, Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps used brass mesh elements in the AC fuel filter assembly beneath the driver's seat. This modern element provides a filtration upgrade whilst retaining the original housing.
