Fuel Filter on Mpi Seicento 1108, Punto 1242 8v.

[babaracus]

I am rather confused, surely there must be a fuel filter on the mk 2 Seicento's and Punto mk 2 1242 8v's.

I can't find mine and Fiat said the mpi doesn't have one, only the spi which is located next to the centre exhaust silencer, is this facts, surely there must be one.

If so mine needs a change, does anyone know the location?

Many Thanks

Its called a pre-filter seperator that is in the fuelpump/tank.

It has a filter but it cleans fuel without use of replaceable, changeable, or cleanable filter element by continually pre-filtering and polishing fuel.
It deals with raw contaminants that lead to degradation, oxidation, and repolymerization of fuel. It removes 99% of water and 95% of dust, dirt, and other contaminates found in fuel.

Thanks LTG, thats one thing I don't have to worry about.

I guess its worth running some fuel system cleaner through at some point though.

I use forte gas treatment instead of replacing the filter on the servicing schedule
