Talking about filters, for the combination water trap/diesel filter, which has a Delphi original, I use a MANN filter - No.P917x. I buy them from a wholesale autoparts place (Allparts) for less than £2.00 each. For anyone who has a Beta Greenline 43 (1903) engine, the equivalent Beta filter, (Which is made for them by Coopers I understand), the cross reference number for a Cooper diesel filter is COOPER Z532A and is much less than the price Beta Marine charge. ~Allan~ >
