Also changed the gearbox fluid, last time I did that was 26th April 2017, 1067 engine hours ago. Again, I've probably left that a bit too long although I'd say the majority of gearboxes probably very rarely get a fluid change. The fuel filters are coming up for renewal soon, that's a job I hate doing but I oughtn't put it off for too much longer. I might have a go next weekend. Changed my gearbox oil last November, 1st time in 2 and a half years and that was by accident because the high pressure cooling hose split and emptied the gearbox contents into the engine bilge. Oil change due in the next month or so, usually around 250 hours, although I don't lose too much sleep over it as the engine (Isuzu 42) has over 13,000 hours on the clock so is probably well run in. Fuel filters also are a job I hate doing as the bastard always has trouble priming each time, they are also due soon. |

I don't know how important it is to change the gearbox fluid regularly. The manual says it should be done annually and the fluid is normally slightly discoloured when I change it. It only takes about £4's worth of fluid and it's an easy enough job to do.
The problem with changing the fuel filters is not so much the bleeding but the fact that it's almost impossible to stop diesel getting into the engine bilge when taking the old ones off, and then it's a bit of a PITA getting that out.

Pull a press lock bag up from below the filter, let the lot drop into it, deal with it off the boat 🔨🚢👍🍻 |

Use a plastic carrier bag under the filter to catch drips. In our case, I don't think a single drop went anywhere, mechanic in Goole did it whilst I watched, and he made it look easy - not even any bleeding needed. |

Carrier bags have holes in them to stop children suffocating if they put em on their head.... |

check the numbers on your new unpainted one, It looks like a Baldwin one i have here....
That is a spin on one so a lot less messy than a 296 element.

I'll check it tomorrow, I forgot to jot the Baldwin number down.
I can't make out the oil filter number on my phone, if you can type it into a post I'll cross reference that.
All our mobile plant has been transferred to a subsidiary we have acquired. The stores and inventory didn't go as they were too low cost to worry about.

I was told that there are no equivalents for Bukh filters, that only Bukh filters should be used - at least for the engine oil filter. But then Bukh engine oil filters are Made in Morocco (strewth!). We have a Mahle oil filter on at the moment, Made in Austria - Mahle has a good reputation. I bet the Chinese one just has some old cardboard, cat hair and belly-button fluff in it.
Part Number 610 D 0201 for the fuel filter. Although there are 'matches' I was told no catalogue exists in which Bukh filters appear with the aim of cross-matching.

We've been through the filter business before. Mahle are fine I've got the fuel filter number. It's the full number of the white filter I can't make out. |
