Features
- Replacement element for Zenith fuel filter

★ Essential component for a reliable fuel system. The filter element can be cleaned in clean fuel, making it reusable.
Application
Suitable for Dodge WC-series vehicles equipped with Zenith fuel filter on the firewall. This type of filter was used on early to mid-production WC models, before the filter was relocated to the tank.
Installation notes
The filter element is placed in the Zenith filter housing with the central bolt connection at the top. A spring beneath the element holds it in place. Handle with care during installation — the thin shafts of the element are fragile. Clean the glass bowl and gasket when replacing.
Compatibility
Fits the standard Zenith fuel filter as mounted on the firewall. Not compatible with later models where the filter was integrated into the fuel tank. Various replacement solutions (such as NAPA 3034) may fit but require adjustment of the flange diameter.
Historical context
The Zenith-type fuel filter with disc element was standard on WWII Dodge military vehicles and was also used on Diamond T and other heavy vehicles. Later, these filters were replaced by in-tank filters.
