Most Racor filters can be fitted with a metal bowl. E.g. Defender sells a 230 model (https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C311%7C2349059%7C2837510&id=3325719) and a replacement metal bowl (http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?name=racor-replacement-metal-bowl-kit&path=-1|311|2349059|2349074&id=3325364) . It is actually quite possible that the original filter is already ABYC compliant.
Marine Outfitters (out of Kingston) sell model 215 (with the metal bowl) for $215. That one is smaller, but I still think it is enough. nothing is cheap, though.

And as far as I can tell this applies to both Diesel and Gasoline engines in Canada. The ABYC standard says that you can't have a plastic see through bowl unless it is shielded. Preliminary investigation at local Gartside says $500 for the filter we need, a Racor 500 series. They claim they are replacing lots of filters now because the old models won't pass the insurance survey. $500 seems like a staggering amount of money (albeit Canadian $) for a filter. Has anyone got insight into this, and suggestions for a cheaper filter? Is this first filter that I used to use a Racor 2000 for.
