Hi In Canada the current regulations say:
7.7.1 Every fuel filter or strainer shall be capable of resisting damages by fire according to the requirements for fuel systems set forth in ABYC Standard H-24 Gasoline Fuel Systems, paragraph 5.7, unless the filter or strainer is inside the fuel tank. And as far as I can tell this applies to both Diesel and Gasoline engines in Canada. The ABYC standard says that you can't have a plastic see through bowl unless it is shielded. Preliminary investigation at local Gartside says $500 for the filter we need, a Racor 500 series. They claim they are replacing lots of filters now because the old models won't pass the insurance survey. $500 seems like a staggering amount of money (albeit Canadian $) for a filter. Has anyone got insight into this, and suggestions for a cheaper filter? Is this first filter that I used to use a Racor 2000 for.
