Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

I bought some from them about three years ago and virtually cleared them out of stock; I think that left them with two.

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

I asked for the RT fuel filter cloth that goes into the brass collar and is held with string! Long time ago since we bought any.

Hello Andy H,

What is the answer to your question on this forum.
Are they the "filter cloth" available for purchase.

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

On many of out RTs we have replaced the filter with a modern one, that is also possible for the RM filters.

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

I usually replace the cloth filter bowl with a modern type with replaceable filters, they're much easier to change and filters are readily available.

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

Any idea of part number and where to get a suitable bowl and filter to easily replace the original?

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

I'll ask Philippe Chris, what we have fitted.

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth for RT & RM codes

Filtration Control Ltd of Northampton have now ceased stocking the material and therefore the cloth is no longer available to purchase.
.
As a suggestion, obtain suitable linen and construct/ assemble your own.

Re: Fuel Filter Cloth

Hi Brian,

Very interested in a filter converstion as to be honest the cloth option was a bit of a pain. If you could update us with the converstion that would be great. Lets just hope it will fit a Leyland engine too..
