• Autobianchi & Innocenti: Regata Sedan, Tipo, and other classic lines.

For a complete list of compatible vehicles, consult the manufacturer’s technical data sheet or contact an authorized service center. The filter is specifically tailored for front‑mounted fuel line systems found in these models.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to prevent accidental ignition of fuel vapors.
2. Locate the Fuel Line: Identify the section of the fuel line where the filter is mounted. This is typically near the engine block or along the passenger side floor.
3. Remove Old Filter: Use a suitable wrench to loosen the fittings on either side of the existing filter. Carefully detach the old cartridge, allowing any residual fuel to drain into a container.
4. Install New WK 613/1: Place the new filter element into the housing, ensuring it sits flush against both ends. Tighten the fittings securely but avoid over‑torquing to prevent damage.
5. Check for Leaks: Reconnect the battery and start the engine. Inspect the installation area for any fuel leaks or abnormal pressure readings.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the filter’s condition during routine maintenance intervals, typically every 15,000–20,000 miles (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer).
• Replace When Needed: If you notice a drop in fuel pressure or reduced engine performance, consider replacing the filter even if the mileage is below the standard interval.
• Proper Disposal: Dispose of used filters according to local environmental regulations. Many service centers accept old filters for recycling.
