Fuel Auto Filter Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Adjustable Type
Fuel Auto Filter Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for fuel auto filter in a adjustable type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The adjustable type version exists because the duty cycle on courier fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Ceramic Composite, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- CNC machining
- electroplating
- laser cutting
- heat treatment
- robot welding
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include aftermarket retail, dealership service, boat trailers, light trucks, assembly programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
