Original MANN-FILTER Fuel filter WK 962/7 – For Utility Vehicles

MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 962/7

The MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 962/7 is a high‑performance component designed specifically for utility vehicles that demand reliable protection of their fuel systems. Engineered with precision, this filter delivers exceptional filtration efficiency while maintaining optimal flow characteristics, ensuring that engines run smoothly and last longer.

Key Design Features

• Advanced Filtration Media: The filter incorporates a multi‑layered media system that captures particles as small as 5 µm. This level of filtration protects fuel injectors, pumps, and combustion chambers from contaminants that could cause wear or failure.
• Robust Housing Construction: Made from high‑strength polypropylene, the housing resists corrosion and withstands harsh operating conditions commonly found in commercial fleets.
• Threaded Mounting (Anschraubfilter): The filter features a standard M18x1.5 thread size, allowing for quick installation on a wide range of chassis and engine configurations without the need for additional adapters.
• Low Pressure Drop: Despite its dense media, the WK 962/7 maintains a pressure differential that is within manufacturer specifications, preventing any adverse impact on fuel delivery or engine performance.
• Compatibility with Major Brands: The filter is specifically engineered for use in Volvo trucks and buses (models such as FH12, FM12, FL12, FM7, NH12), but its design also makes it suitable for other heavy‑duty vehicles that require a reliable fuel filtration solution.

Performance Benefits

The MANN‑FILTER WK 962/7 delivers tangible advantages for fleet operators and individual vehicle owners alike:

• Extended Engine Life: By removing contaminants before they reach critical engine components, the filter reduces wear on fuel injectors and pumps.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency: Clean fuel flow ensures optimal combustion, which can translate into measurable fuel savings over time.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Fewer contaminant‑related failures mean less downtime and lower repair expenses.
• Consistent Performance in Harsh Environments: Whether operating in dusty construction sites, oily industrial settings, or remote locations, the filter maintains its filtration integrity.

Installing the WK 962/7 is straightforward and can be completed with standard tools. Follow these steps for a secure fit:

1. Preparation: Ensure that the fuel line is drained or that the vehicle’s safety procedures are followed to prevent accidental ignition.
2. Remove Existing Filter: Unscrew the current filter using an appropriate wrench. Dispose of it according to local regulations.
3. Position New Filter: Align the threaded end of the WK 962/7 with the fuel line’s mating surface. Hand‑tighten initially, then use a torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer’s recommended torque value (typically around 20–25 Nm).
4. Check for Leaks: After installation, inspect the filter housing and connections for any signs of fuel leakage.
5. Re‑start Engine: Once the system is verified leak‑free, start the engine and monitor for proper operation.

To preserve optimal performance, replace the WK 962/7 according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service interval or sooner if operating in exceptionally dirty conditions. A typical recommendation is every 20,000–30,000 kilometers, but this can vary based on usage patterns.

The MANN‑FILTER WK 962/7 undergoes rigorous testing to meet or exceed industry standards. Each filter is inspected for dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and filtration efficiency before shipment. This commitment to quality ensures that every unit delivers reliable protection from the first mile.

MANN‑FILTER has a long-standing reputation for producing durable, high‑performance filters across multiple vehicle categories. The WK 962/7 exemplifies this heritage with its:

• Proven track record in commercial fleets.
