Detailed Description

WIX part number 33066 is engineered as a fuel filter for light-duty applications, using cellulose media to help trap debris before it reaches the fuel system. The compact cylindrical design and 1/4-inch connections make it a straightforward choice for classic Toyota Pickup and Celica service, as well as Chevrolet Sprint, Pontiac Firefly, Mazda B2600, and Toyota Tercel fuel filter replacement needs.
