• Maintenance for vehicles with screw-on fuel filter housings

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the chassis/VIN breakpoints listed in the fitment data before ordering. This part is a screw-on filter, so installation should follow the vehicle’s fuel system service procedure and pressure-relief steps. Verify the filter orientation and sealing surfaces during replacement, and compare the old unit to the V30-0820-1 before installation.
