UFI Filters has announced that the latest new arrival in the Stellantis Group model line is equipped with original equipment UFI Gen 2 Plus technology.

The compact SUV Alfa Romeo Tonale offers a wide choice of engines, from the plug-in system, through to the petrol hybrid and the diesel engine. Although the departure platform is shared, as well as inherited from the Jeep Compass, the diesel version features a high-performance 130 hp 1.6L engine together with a dual-clutch robotic gearbox with 6 gears and front-wheel drive.

For this version, the Stellantis Group has relied on the experience of UFI Filters in diesel filtration technologies with high water separation. The filter mounted as original equipment on the Tonale is the Gen 2 Plus, known for its high performance: filtering efficiency of more than 90% for particles up to 4 μm according to ISO 19438 and 95% water separation capacity from the diesel fuel according to ISO 16332, thanks to the filter media produced internally according to the special FormulaUFI.StratiFlex.

The filter consists of an internal cartridge enclosed in a steel housing made with a cold moulding process that is particularly resistant, even in the event of a crash. The cartridge made with the exclusive DFM (Deep Filtration Media), includes a pressure control valve and a plastic upper cover that contains a flat mesh, both patented systems.

The spare part of the diesel filter for Alfa Romeo Tonale is already available in the Aftermarket catalogue with the code UFI 26.079.00.
