Diesel Heater Filter Change

[DavidPeckham 0]

Hi all,  stupidly took out a filter to replace and failed to note which way up it was! am assuming the 'Baldwin Filters' side should be facing downwards (see photo) as the opening on the other side seems to match up to the hole on the filter fitting? Hope this is clear enough - only got these to photos with me at the moment (they also got a bit squashed whilst uploading) Many thanks for any help. Cheers, Brian

I think your assumption is correct.

Your filter looks like a Crosland 489, and the element is fitted with the small hole to the bottom with the large hole mating with the top of the filter. There should be a spring under the filter with a washer and a rubber washer under the element, and there is another seal, bigger to match the hole that seals the top

Cheers all, was in danger of putting it back upside down there! That description of the two holes makes perfect sense now.
