[C320-list] Perkins M30 Fuel Filter

[Donald Poole]

Anyone know the NAPA part number to replace PERKINS 130366020

[Welch, Myron D]

Don,

The corresponding PERKINS 130366020 replacement is NAPA 3386.

Just curious: When using a non-OEM part (filters, impellors, etc) how does one know /determine
they meet the orginal OEM performance criteria (eg, filtration level, pressure drop, cold start-up bypass, etc)?
Thx.

And while we're at it, the oil filter on the engine is: Fram PH2951, Perkins
140516990, NAPAGold 1348
These numbers can change; but, were current last time I purchased.

[Warren Updike]

Good question. I think it's hard to know. When an authorized (Yanmar,
Perkins, Universal, etc.) dealer gives me a substitute part, I record that
for future reference. Otherwise, use the OEM part. I.e, Perkins oil filters
are easily twice the price of say NAPA; but, NAPA are generally quality
products and if referenced by a Perkins dealer, that's good enough for me.
My oil filter has a bypass valve that insures oil flow even if the filter
becomes clogged. Just picking a filter of the shelf that fits may not have
such a valve subjecting your engine to possibly costly repairs.
Better safe than sorry.

Although interchangable, the NAPA filter is superior to the Fram based on
what I've read.

Warren,

The oil filters are also ACDelco PF 2951 and Wix 51361. Is the Perkins number 140516990 or 140516190?

Myron, here's the story. We've had our 320 8 years. I had been buying my
Perkins parts from TADiesels in VA. Maybe 5 years ago the oil filter part
number changed. I think 140516990 is the last one I bought. At one point,
there were none available and TADiesels gave me the NAPA Gold 1348 number.
