It is important for classic cars like the Fiat 500 that fuel reaches the pump and carburettor as cleanly as possible to avoid clogging issues. To fit a proper filter, open the front bonnet and locate the pipe that carries fuel from the tank to the rear engine.

This pipe passes over the tank and curves downwards: cut the pipe down by 0.5 cm in this section, insert a metal clamp onto both ends, and fit the filter. Ensure the correct orientation by inserting the rubber holder marked "in" on the side that exits the tank and the holder marked "out" on the pipe leading to the engine.

Tighten both clamps and check the correct flow by starting the engine.
