Help to identify diesel filter

[Jon57]

Hi can anyone identify this diesel filter please. It's supply's the reflex stove in the cabin. Are filters still available? If so where can I get them please. Thanks 

It's the small filter I'm after. Can't see any numbers on the body of the filter.

Yes the filters are still available but I can't give you a number. This filter uses a separate "pleated paper" element that is inside the red bowl. If you take it out you should see a number. Undo the bolt in the bottom but turn the fuel off first.

 

I am sure someone else will be along to give you the number.

Thanks Tony. Will wait to see if anyone can tell me of a supplier be for I disturb the filter as I don't want to not have the heater work for too long.

I think some air cooled Listers use that filter so RLWP may oblige..

IT is Either ACD 60 or ACD 600.  One is the filter, the other is the housing IIRC.  In line filters say it is a Baldwin PF 847

Looks like the one I have fitted to my home c/h tank - perhaps a 'proper' plumbing merchant migh be able to help?

The small one is very common on older Listers and domestic and industrial oil heatiing . The element number is FRAM C11941 PL.  Crosland element is 489 Although Crosland I belueve have merged with FRAM so the Crosland number may not apply anymore.

I have something very similar in line with my Kabola Old Dutch oil drip stove, except that it is not colouted red.

 

The element is a reusable stainless steel mesh.

Sorry for the late reply. When next at the boat will remove bowl and see what filter is their (paper or washable) 

Thanks guy's

As Biz says, the filter is a Crosland 489, and usually has a paper element. If you've never changed it before, you may find that it is just an empty bowl. If the head to the fire is not very high, and it has a long way to travel, an element may be too restrictive for such a low gravity flow. As there is another filter in the oil control valve, this is not a problem. The empty bowl will still serve a purpose as a water trap, and any contaminants will fall to the bottom of the bowl. The low flow will never scour them out.

I have the same filter on the oil fired central heating at home.  As with yours the filter is unlabelled, but its predecessor (which had split and leaked due to someone screwing in a taper thread pipe fitting too tight) was labelled 

"Crossland Filters Ltd Nottingham England Filt No. 68489 Elem No. 489"

The filter bowl on this is 64mm diameter - I have seen other sizes that look similar and which will have a different number.

Mine has a paper filter element.

Plenty for sale on ebay.

Ebay even has filter elements with enough seals to make a face
