Fuel Filter for Kia Sportage: Cast Iron
This fuel filter for the Kia Sportage is specified around cast iron, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a specification nobody had written down, or premature wear on the first batch. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.

The specification above is the one most often ordered for delivery fleets. Related applications include track days, security patrols, airport ground fleets, night riding, rural transport.
Quality and packing
- In-line inspection with AQL 2.5 sampling on every lot.
- Dimensional report issued against the approved drawing.
- Carton marking and barcode to your specification.
- Golden sample retained at the factory as the reorder reference.
Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
