Iseki oil filter

[Ploos1]

Help needed once again. My 1990 boat has an Isuzu 3kc1 engine (beta marine). The oil filter sold to me by my local car parts place is not right and leaks. A bit of internet searching has not really helped but narrowed it down to Fram Ph6811  or a Baldwin B179 as possibles. Have no old filter to check any numbers. Can anyone advise? 

Many thanks in anticipation.

It really is an ISUZU not iseki as in the title .... sorry...... computers have a mind of their own or mine doesn’t work properly!

The Inline filters website has equivalents and OEM applications for both Fram and Baldwin. Either look up your engine  and find a filter or the filters you think might be right and see if your engine is listed.

Yes.

Thanks .... I will try inline filters. The engine has Beta Marine and Isuzu clearly labelled on it. Perhaps a forum member has a similar engine and could check for numbers on their filter?

Beta are open in the morning. Get your engine number, and ask them, they will tell you whether it's one of theirs, and which filters to use if it is. 

They are very helpful people (now they are back from lockdown)

Thank you. Inline filters list this engine but will call beta as well. Problem seems to be solved ( or very nearly) ..... thanks to all who have taken the time to reply.
