Changing the fuel filter on a china diesel to something more comon
old seagull man:
Has anyone changed there Chinese diesels filter to something we can buy easily? Something that's a CAV or Delphi Ryco Fram, even Lucas clone or something else common?
Wondering how hard it would be on the S195.
veggie:
Yes, the 195's are easy to adapt to a different filter.
Although the canister filter that they come with is pretty good.
The 195 has an external flexible fuel hose so simply splice a new inline filter into that hose between the fuel tank and the existing canister filter. Then remove the paper element from the stock canister.
You will need to make some sort of a bracket to hold the new filter to the engine.
Keep the whole filter/hose assembly running in a downhill slope. Remember this is a gravity feed system.
cheers,
Veggie

I am with Veggie on this, no reason to change that housing other than element availability but if you cant find them that sure is a good reason to go another route. Myself I find it a LOT easier to not remove the OEM filter housing , just remove the dirty element button it back up and put an inline made for diesel service in front of it, Kubota uses lots of them,so do others. I would not reccomend an auto parts store filter made for lawn mowers. All that being said the easiest solution by far is to simply purchase the elements that fit the housing. You are in the USA are you not? Those filters and housings are a standard part in China but have have the measurements handy when you call the good folks at Masters Farm Supply, they acquired Hardy Diesel several years ago and stock most everything for Chinese diesels. http://www.mastersfarmsupply.com/home.html I have them in stock at the shop but no reason to pay shipping here then back to you
old seagull man:
Thanks guys for the excellent suggestions. I live in Australia, and there is no supply of these filters here,
So its may be a trip to the Kabota parts list.

Why not just fit something like this?
Off the shelf in NZ so probably also in Oz
Something like 6 or 10 micron, I forget
Comes with a bracket as part of the casting
Has two sets of "in" and "out" so you can have in and out on either side or both on the same side
Elements available off the shelf at AutoKraft
I fitted this last month to a 3-cyl Hyundai diesel driving a 15kVa alternator. It's original unit was mounted behind the intake manifold where it was impossible to get at - consequently no-one ever serviced it
They are as common as a Corolla
They have provision for a bleeder on the top as well as a return-line fitting if needed
The threads are some odd NPT thing that's very close to 1/4 BSPT and I just re-cut the threads (remembering to blow out the alloy shards)
Don't give me a hard time about the thread seal tape OK?
