This is a Wix Filters 33054 complete in-line fuel filter, designed to capture contaminants in fuel before they reach components like carburetors or fuel injectors. It is a direct replacement for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth fuel systems covering years roughly 1975-1989, specific to the engine size and submodel where a 5/16-inch inlet and outlet fuel inlet configuration was used. It protects old fuel system setups using an exterior mounted fuel filter; it is not applicable to vehicles using later fuel injection systems unless stated in fitment data.
Constructed with cellulose media rated to filter down to approximately 11 microns, the 33054 filter is built with a height of about 3.83 inches (≈ 97 mm), an outer diameter at the top of 1.725 inches (≈ 44 mm), and both inlet and outlet ports of 5/16 inches. The top inner diameter is closed, and there is also a vapor port rated at 1/4 inch. The unit is classified as Class C and for light-duty (LD) usage.
In real-world terms, this filter offers strong protection for older U.S. domestic vehicles with V6 or V8 engines of the 1970s and early ’80s, where fuel quality and contamination levels may be more challenging. It provides long, reliable service if installed correctly and replaced at recommended intervals. The cellulose media is sufficient for standard usage, though heavy gasoline adulteration or water presence may require more frequent servicing.
