Fuel filter

[lucas.armstrong.77]

Hopefully an easy question for someone, trying to chase the part number for the fuel filter for my perentie, also as I'm still very much a car maintenance rookie curious as to what exactly this is76906

Fuel filter should be Isuzu # 8944537381.
The picture you've shown is the fuel sedimenter. Undo the plastic winged bolt at the bottom to drain off any water it has trapped. My guess is that there is probably some crud in there so best to take the bowl off and clean it out. To do this need to undo the bolt in the centre on top of the housing and the bowl should drop off.

Ryco part number for the filter is Z169A, usually in stock at places like SuperCheap or Repco.

I generally buy Isuzu filters (fuel, oil, & other Isuzu parts) through Zenith engineering in Brisbane. Ph 07 33694599

They are reasonably priced and will courier them to you. I buy 3 or 4 of each which lasts a couple of years with Km I do.

I would definitely clean out the sedimenter. It is like a large particle or sludge primary filter. I clean mine about every 12-18 mths. My fuel tank is a bit rusty. There not a lot in there if regularly cleaned. Metal/rust appears to react and pit the alloy body inside. Also there are 3 seals, under the bolt head holding it together, a large ring under the top of the unit and in between the middle and bottom section. It's likely all will be reusable. The sedimenter is a worthwhile bit of kit. Effective but simple.

Wait until your fuel tank is 1/4 full before cleaning. If too full the fuel level will be higher than the sedimenter.

All good news to hear, is there any special process of putting it back in? Bleeding or just put it straight back on?

You will need to bleed the fuel system after reassembly. Put some vaso on the seals so joins do seal. It can be a source of air leaks into the fuel system.

I recently replaced my filter using the ryco unit and noticed it fits but is a considerably smaller size. Does that matter/have any impact?

Seems to be similiar story with the ryco oil filter. It is shorter in height.

Here's a list of Perentie filter numbers for my local suppliers (Truckline and Hitachi Heavy Machinery):

Donaldson (Hitachi)
- Donaldson P550422 (Oil)
- Donaldson P900433 (Air, Main)
- Donaldson P900434 (Air, Inner)
- Donaldson P550588 (Fuel)

Fleetguard (Truckline)
- Fleetguard LF3642 (Oil)
- Fleetguard AF4059K (Air, Main)
- Fleetguard AF988 (Air, Inner)
- Fleetguard FF5030 (Fuel)

Dervish - It looks like the Donaldson P550588 that's on your list is the Water/Fuel Separation Filter that Lucas requested info on.

I'd like to throw a Donaldson P550057 into your list because it could be the correct single spin on fuel filter. (At least I hope so coz that's what I put in my FFR about 10 days ago) I was quoted on that part number because it's matched to 3.9l Isuzu Elfs and NPR's that had the 4BD1 with the single spin-on. I dunno... Just hoping it's right.

Thank you, I'll amend the list :) I can vouch for the Fleetguard P/Ns as I've used all of those on my Perentie, the Donaldson numbers were collected from various posts here on AULRO and as yet unverified (by me). Looks like I wasn't paying enough attention when searching for the fuel filter number.

Dervish,
I run the Fleetguard LF3642 as the single spin-on engine oil filter and a FLeetguard FF5114 fuel filter. The FF5114 matched the application listing and fits the housing fine, though it is slightly smaller in diameter than the original Isuzu unit.
Cheers, Dave

Good advice-when i drained/cleaned sedimenter my tank was obviously quite full ( dodgy gauge) and just kept coming so had to put a drum underneath to catch the diesel until level dropped enough to stop draining. BTW- despite being a rather messy operation it's definitely worth doing as mine had quite a lot of gunk in it -also don't forget the small mesh one under lift pump-mine was choke full of stuff too.

Newbie USA based perentie owner here. Loving the truck - told the mrs. it would be a chick magnet and to watch out, but seems it attracts more middle aged guys than those of the female version. Oh well....

I mistakenly ordered a Donaldson P550588 for the spin on fuely up front. It APPEARS to match the current factory sedimenter....anyone using one of these instead?

Y'all are awesome with all of the info. Thank you!165415
