MANN-FILTER Fuel Filter WK 8166 – For Utility Vehicles

The MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 8166 is a high‑performance filtration solution specifically engineered for utility and commercial vehicles that demand reliable protection against contaminants in the fuel system. Designed with advanced materials and precision manufacturing, this filter delivers exceptional durability, consistent flow rates, and superior contaminant capture across a wide range of operating conditions.

Key Design Features

• Optimized Filter Media: The WK 8166 employs a multi‑layered media structure that combines high‑efficiency fibers with a robust backing. This configuration captures particles as small as 5 µm while maintaining low pressure drop, ensuring optimal engine performance.

• Robust Housing Construction: Constructed from corrosion‑resistant alloy steel, the housing protects the filter media from harsh environments and mechanical impact. The threaded mounting system allows for secure installation on standard fuel lines.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Engineered to withstand temperatures from –40 °C to +120 °C, the filter remains stable in extreme cold or hot conditions typical of utility vehicle operations.

• High Flow Capacity: With a rated flow rate that supports heavy‑load engines, the WK 8166 ensures adequate fuel delivery even under demanding duty cycles. This feature is critical for vehicles such as tractors, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery.

Performance Specifications

Installation and Maintenance

The WK 8166 is designed for straightforward installation on standard fuel lines. The threaded connection eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing assembly time and potential leak points. During routine maintenance, replace the filter when the manufacturer’s recommended interval is reached or when a noticeable increase in pressure drop is observed.

Applications

This filter is ideal for:

• Utility vehicles such as tractors, loaders, and forklifts.
• Agricultural machinery including combine harvesters and planters.
• Construction equipment like excavators and backhoes.
• Industrial generators and auxiliary power units.

Its versatility makes it suitable for both on‑road and off‑road applications, ensuring reliable fuel delivery in diverse operational environments.

Quality Assurance

MANN‑FILTER is a globally recognized brand known for rigorous quality control. Each WK 8166 filter undergoes:

• Pre‑manufacturing material inspection to guarantee media integrity.
