Hi

I`ve spent several days looking for topic of any fuel filter replacement.
I`m sorry but couldn`t find so started new topic.
Please, if I missed it, point me there, if not, what other filters are compatible
with the one of 3 Litre V6 petrol?
The original ones are not available atm.

Thank you.

Has this been okay for your 3L V6 petrol?
For some reason they list it with the LWB reference PDFW

I haven't started looking for mine yet, but I'd like to replace all the fluids and filters as it's a new import.
Was there a trick for bleeding the air (obvious on the diesel)?

If it fits the engine of the LWB then it fits the engine on the SWB. It’s not the vehicle length that counts, just the engine.

I’ve been using up spare filters from various agricultural and mining vehicles, which we service. There are so many, produced in the same factories then custom labelled for multiple OEM’s, which are effectively the same item.  Some very expensive oil and fuel filters produced for high end excavators are the same as those used on low cost machinery, at a fraction of the price. Having bought shed loads of clearance items from a bankrupt wholesaler it’s obvious you are often just paying for the name on the label.

You will though find some Chinese items are not as good a quality as the samples the seller supplied the wholesaler. Some of the more obvious of those are droplinks and wishbone bushes. Unfortunately some made for the lighter Shogun/Pajero/Montero are advertised for the Deli, but are not up to the task.

Re- what Lewis said. Euro Car Parts bought the Crosland brand, but not the factory. Their filters are sourced from Chinese factories and are of variable levels of dubious quality and fit, trading on the previous good name of the UK company.

Thanks for the information, always helpful things to know.

I've been buying my filters from Milners up to now, and have done well enough with them (but they don't offer this petrol fuel filter listed by Mitzi Bitz). I've used Forte oil flush and Forte fuel treatment every time I do a change. All my experience up to now has been with the 4M40 engine. The 3L V6 petrol will be something new to learn. I like the prospect of more response on tap when required.....but may live to regret moving over from the diesel which seems almost bullet-proof. I know it's going to be a thirsty devil unless I'm very gentle with the right foot.
