Thanks - if you want to get rid of them? I've made a note to see if we have 3.7cm free space under the fuel filter, when we get to the boat. One day this Summer I want to spend the whole day sitting in the engine 'ole looking at the engine, working out what's what, and taking photos of everything in detail. And about time to give it the once over with a damp rag to clean it up. Cotton buds for those awkward places.
I shall write to Bukh next week, curious to see their reply. I'm with Stabby on this, I'm sure Mahle filters are as good as 'original Bukh' - I bet the 'tolerances' mean diddly-squat anyway, the oil always runs through at roughly the same pressure - so long as the filter is screwed tight, the oil has got to stay in the engine somewhere!
Another 4 weeks to go to the holidays...

Another 4 weeks to go to the holidays... Usual rules apply, if they are any good I get to go see the post mistress 👍 The only important factor for the oil is the bypass relief pressure, Baldwin are very good at giving the technical specifications of their filters. A Peugeot 205 1.1l shares the same filter as your Bukh. We are two weeks away from our first move to PYC. Thankfully the river is off SSA as of today so we will blow the cobwebs out this weekend 🚢🍻 Edited:- In my world we use mm followed by any number of 0 depending on how accurate the job is, on rare occasions we use inches and it's fractions down to the thousandth. The only people I know who regularly use centimetres are school teachers, carpet and furniture sales people along with curtain and blind manufacturers.

The centimeter is a non preferred unit. If one has to use HEATHEN metric units then Kilometers, meters and millimeters are the approved units.

four and a half yards one rod, pole or perch. one chain, twenty two yards or one hundred links or forty rods, ten chains are one furlong, eight furlongs one mile. It's amazing what stays in your head if it's thumped into you hard enough as a child

Well, not a Roman Mile, of course, you Heathen: If the mile originated with 5,000 Roman feet, how did we end up with a mile that is 5,280 feet? Blame the furlong. The furlong wasn't always just an arcane unit of measure that horseracing fans gabbed about; it once had significance as the length of the furrow a team of oxen could plow in a day. In 1592, Parliament set about determining the length of the mile and decided that each one should be made up of eight furlongs. Since a furlong was 660 feet, we ended up with a 5,280-foot mile.

Im thinking that no-one actually lived in Cornwall in those days?

The Romans went to have a look but found that Cornwall was just full of retired old folk, caravans blocking the lanes, and thugs in Dr Martin boots - and decided to make Exeter the terminus for their Intercity trains.
