Replacement fuel filter for 6/1

[solarphil]

I have been able to obtain a Lster 6/1 (1944) fitted with an original curly felt fuel filter element.

What is being used as a replacement for this type or can one still get the original type

Interested in what your comments are

Thanks for that bottleveg

Has anyone in Aus got a cartridge type replacement idea? 

Might be easier in the longrun!!

Ah, your in Oz! How much would it cost you in postage? One should last you a long time.
I’m not sure where I saw it but someone came up with the idea of a cartridge that fitted inside the original cast iron housing.
I have an idea it was Peter Forbe’s, I may be wrong. Have a look here-

Peter Forbes did suggest a filter that fits in the existing lister filter housing. It was on this site and I copied it and it has worked very well for me over the years cheers Peter.

The one I use is a Coopers filter number AZF 058 and is available in the UK. I buy 6 at a time and they cost me £5.20 each.
Also  Crossland 457 or Fram C11860PL are the same filter, and I am sure there will be others from other filter manufacturers.

This is  a picture of the adapter I made to fit in the top housing.




 
This is made from a 18mm threaded hydraulic fitting with the thread machined off at one end to be a nice fit in the rubber in the top of the filter.
The thread in the lister housing is 18mm metric because Lister used Bosch fuel injection equipmemt. Any firm that make hydraulic hoses can supply the 18mm  adapters.

On the bottom end of the filter I use a 8mm stainless steel nut and bolt with stainless steel body washer and a few small washers to get hight correct. This fits in the hole at the bottom of the filter and makes a good seal.

The other thing I did was to replace the pipe from the filter to the injection pump with a rubber pipe it saves having to undo the steel pipe on the pump and filter housing every time you change the filter.

Hi Listeroil

Thats exactly what I was requiring!!

Thanks for going to the trouble of getting together the great pics

Do you mind measuring the length and dia of the cartridge for me as I might have trouble with those brands on Oz

Hello Solarphil,
                   Any decent auto supply firm will have a cross-reference book or online file which will list available substitutes for the filters quoted, so don't think you will have any trouble getting what you need,  Regards,  Combustor.

Hey Phil

It looks like you have got this one covered now, but thought you should investigate removing the origanal filter unit and introduce a simple in line filter (Fuel and installation Dependent) direct in to the fuel pump my unit works on wvo and we saved a whole lot of issues this way.  Youtube: Westbury CHP

Hi Dursley Dan!

My favourite is a VB as well!!

Thanks for the idea - you're correct, that could easily be done.  I was really wanting to keep it somewhat "original" and I think it can be done with the ideas I've been given

Thanks lads
