Hey fellas - I ordered what I thought were all filters I needed to do an annual filter change - but in working with them I found the filter pictured - it is a small filter about the diameter of a dime - sits below the Vapor Seperator tank....can anyone advise what the name of this filter is and how often it should be changed? I looked in my shop manual but can't seem to pin point it........

Since you haven’t provided what motor you have look it up on this link

Sorry - this is on a 2008 225 HPDI......

that is the filter coming off of the electric oil pump going into the vst

Finally found this thing in the shop manual......as it turns out, it's not a filter after all, but a "check valve".....shouldn't need changing unless it just fails....

Look again, like Jason said, its a filter from solenoid oil pump that connects to vst. It allows very small amount of oil to vst to keep all fuel delivery components lubricated including fuel pump, compressor and injectors. There are 6 one way check valves, 3 on each side of the reed plate which what you maybe referring to but they have nothing to do with this filter.

OK, so how do I order it? Any idea what the name of it is? Rich, does your manual reflect a part number or name and maintenance schedule on it? Thanks.

how many hours on motor?

[Rommel]

80 to 85....I just bought it and although it appears to be a cherry, I still feel more comfortable knowing I have changed all filters that need changing. Thus far, I've changed vst filter, see through fuel filter, and the film cannister filter....while doing all that I found the filter in the pic at the beginning of this thread. Oh yeah, I changed the water seperator filter as well.....

dont sweat this filter at those hours

Thanks - while I've got you on "the hook" - what's the deal with the filter inside the motor mounted oil tank? Is it something you take out and just clean? I haven't messed with it yet....(Yeah, I know, I'm hi jacking my own thread )
