I have been looking for the same thing..
There was a Wix filter on my boat when I bought it, but I believe it is like a 10 micron maybe. I have tried to cross reference and have found some leads on other brands which are below. I do NOT know the filter screen size on these as I have not researched the subject fully.

Let me know if you do find a successfull alternative.

Wix #33472 Victor had this in the boat, installed september 06.
Equvalent to wix.. NAPA#3472/WIX#33472/FRAM#P8043/ ???FILTER SCREEN SIZE???

Thanks,
Roy

My local diesel engine place (mainly for trucks and not a marine place so
pretty cheap) sold me a

Bosch 1 457 434 106 to replace a

Fleetguard FF5135 fine filter

- which - they say - are no longer available.

Fitted OK.

Cost about 10 euro - say US$ 12...

Thanks Roy, for response. After hand cleaning my tank and changing the fuel lines (a headache) I inadvertantly dumped some more contaminated fuel back in cleaned tank. it was from one of 3 cans I thought were clean. Therfore I went with the ridiculously priced dealer filter for expedience, but do not want to be stuck with that when I change again. Appreciate your feedback.. Pat

Hi Roy,
I wasn't aware that there was an issue about filter mesh size - what makes
you think that there is?

It's just that the Volvo recomended filter is 2 micron.
I have the fuel tank in the keel area and I have another filter before the 2 micron that is I believe a 30 micron.

So the set-up is supposed to be a coarse filter and then a fine one.
I am just scared to keep my Wix 10 micron filter on the MD6A for too long... in case bad things happen.
