I have a 1979 Penta MD5 and I am attempting to change the primary fuel filter mounted on the engine. When looking up this part number, I get an old part number 870065 and a new part number 876554. The dimension of the suggested fuel filter is 60mm length and 73mm diameter. My existing filter is 55mm length and 65mm diameter. I have also tried after market parts such as Fleetguard ff230 and its dimensions are 62mm length and 70mm diameter. I have attached a photo.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Thanks,
Derek
