Fuel filter "retro" kit from Atlantic British replacement filter

[wrc3]

So I got this kit a while ago https://www.roverparts.com/filters/fuel-filters/8989/ only problem is that now it is time to replace the filter and I can't figure out the part number. No markings on the filter and I called Atlantic British and they don't know. Waiting for them to get back to me, but was wondering if anyone else knows or has replaced the inline filter with something similar. I thought I remembered someone talking about a BMW filter inline like this, but I couldn't find the info on which one in particular.

Can you bring the filter itself to a napa, etc and see if they can match it?

Comical they don't know the filter that they sell...

looks like a regular ol fuel filter. measure the inlet and outlet, guessing 5/16" or 3/8", any parts store will have something similar.

You could use about any size filter and replace or trim the rubber hoses as needed.

try corvette 86482, carquest # or this summit one that has dimensions https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...9aj1nffywMeV_EPX_WS8LwmX8Ld64GWRoCZxQQAvD_BwE

Ya they had only the kit and not the actual filter number. So not gonna buy a filter kit for 40 on a filter that is probably 15 bucks. Ill pull it and take it in. I didnt know if there was anything volume specific to filters and not just size and shape. But sounds like if it fits it fits.

NAPA Gold 3595 is what I use in my D1. It looks like the AB kit filter.

Thanks for the responses. Ill grab a couple of these part numbers and see if they match up.

if the filer is clamp on its made for carb and most EFI systems. some of the filters on more modern systems are made for high pressure


but yea if it s fits, it will work

It’s look similar to NTC5958 that they also list https://www.roverparts.com/filters/fuel-filters/NTC5958/

Guy from Atlantic British called me back and said he knew the part number and it was like 9.95. I already ordered a couple so if those don’t fit I will give AB a yell. So props to them for following up quickly.

Follow up. Guy from AB called and left a message saying he knew the part number but never actually gave the number. I called him back and left a message to call me with the number and that was last Friday. No return call yet. I am not sure I am super happy with AB. Anyways, I got a NAPA Gold 3595 and it looks exactly the same. Thanks, Frobisher. Haven't put it in yet as it is a million degrees outside, but it should fit.

No return call yet. I am not sure I am super happy with AB.

AB is like a cheap knock off vs RN.

im chasing down a fuel line demon on a 94 that has taken way too long to fix. My local rover hoarder has what i need but in case anyone cares to know, a 5/16 brass compression fitting works great for the stock fuel line. The horrible metric fitting into the filter can be had at Napa or Dorman w/ a 5" x 3/8 pipe on it. so in a pinch you can make a new piece of line with off the shelf parts.

I too am having fuel line issues. Losing pressure when off. What you got?

In case anyone needs the info this is the direct replacement.
