Got fuel line quick disconnect and tried to mock up parts together, but space is tight.

--- Quote from: vtsteam on December 22, 2014, 08:53:26 AM ---Pekka, I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier (brain is aging) but my Indian Listeroid diesel uses gravity feed diesel through a fuel filter (and not much gravity, either -- the original tank is mounted on the engine, so we're talking maybe 100 mm head pressure).

I could have given you the filter numbers and photographed mine because it appears to be a stock Delco (I believe) filter housing and filter. I actually forgot it had a fuel filter. I think it's quite a bit smaller than the one you purchased, so you should have no problems -- assuming flow is even less restricted.

Do you have a can/cardridge type filter or in-line can? Smaller filter would solve here some problems. I may need to go for smaller filters, if I want to use original tank. I had the idea of let go with original tank and use that space for filter.

I don't expect much problem with diesel oil aging, but having a small fixed tank would be nice to have sometimes. Trying to fiqure if I could connct two tanks parallel and isolate auxiliary tank with quick disconnect. I have one idea that needs testing.

Here. Pekka:

It was tough locating that filter, oddly emough, on the web. Must be unusual here in the States.

But I did find it in the UK:

Steve,I can confirm that that type and size of filter does seem quite commonly used here in the UK and British Isles. Also see a lot of similar units fitted to central heating oil storage tanks around these shores......OZ.

PekkaNF:
Thank you. That gave me anoher idea - heating oil filter

Thre are plenty of different heating oil filters here and they are very nice size and pretty affordable.

I just wonder how efficient they are. I have one and change it about after 1500 - 2000 l of heating oil. The filter element seems to be about same size than this Yanmar and if I remember right it should be changed after 200 h of use i.e. about 200 litres of filtered oil. This would suggest finer filtering or more conservative dimenssioning.

I found some this type material that has some indication;

But lot of hardware store filers have very vague indication of filering efficiency. I see if I can mount these. Something to ponder when wife is at work.
