You might find the reason you are having trouble with the filter leaking is that a lot of the cartridge filters seem to come
with a neoprene ring now instead of a rubber one. I had trouble on my Fergy diesel tractor with the cartridge filter housing
leaking and ended up reusing the rubber ring from an old filter, it stopped the problem. I had reconditioned the Fergy motor
several years back and fitted a new oil pump, so it had plenty of oil pressure, and under pressure the neoprene rings would
slip sideways and cause a leak. The old rubber sealing rings had little lines on them and they seemed to stay put easier.
However I agree a "spin on" filter adaptor is the better option.
Cheers, Mick.
Unfortunatly supplier doesn't ship Australia[bawl][bawl][bawl]Quote:

Does anyone know the size of the rubber sealing ring Micks talking about and wether they can be bought somewhere

Most likely issue is the sealing ring is damaged or has dirt in the groove - easy to do either. Easiest and cheapest way to get a replacement ring is to buy another filter - they are cheap!
You could put a 200Tdi oil filter adapter on if you can find one [wink11]Quote:

Check that there is not any damage to either the groove or the edge of the steel housing, but most likely is that the ring is damaged.
