Fuel Filter Cross Reference

[Boilermaker]

Someone asked the question about fuel filter cross reference. I only have 33 miles on my machine, but that has never stopped me from being prepared. So I keyed up my mad crazy googling skills and I found this PDF.

I recognize the names Purolator and Bosch because I am 'Merican. I couldn't find a retailer that could send me the Purolator. The Bosch seems to be in a canister from pictures that I have found.

I did find a company to send me the SOFIMA S 6090 NE2.

Sofima Fuel Filter S 6090 NE2 - Fits Mahindra Bolero / TUV 300 / KUV 100 / Scorpio / XUV 500 - MotrParts

It was $4.56 for the filter and $10.40 to ship FedEx from India. Grand total was $14.96. I ordered on September 3 and received on September 10.

Does it fit? I don't know yet, but it looks exactly like the pictures that I see of the MAHINDRA 1001CAA14881N.

I would like to know how to actually take it apart? I know how to remove the entire unit, but how do you get to the filter?

Lucky for you I speak Navajo.

 

[Roxasuras]

Perfect thank you.

Most painful 10 minutes of audio I’ve listened to lately. But I think I’ve got it now from the video!? I’m gonna be REALLY careful with my fuel quality so I don’t have to change the filter soon!
Thanks for sharing, it will come in handy sometime in the future.

Absolutely, I would have never thought of flipping it upside down and using the bracket as a bench to work on it with an oil filter wrench.

The fuel filter video Roxasuras posted is awesome. Thank you for that. Does anyone know if there is a second fuel filter back by the tank? One of my contacts said there is a second fuel filter (spin on type) by the fuel tank but I can’t seem to find it? Has anyone come across this.

These are the same PNs I have too. Do you know where the spin on one actually is in the machine? I can’t see it.

There is no spin on filter by the tank. Look up those numbers and the filters. The first one is a cartridge filter. Could that be inside the tank? I’m doubtful as most tank filters are nothing more than a mesh sock to stop the big stuff. Something filtering that fine should be more serviceable.
