Does anyone have the part # for the engine fuel filter on an MD7A? I'm looking for a source and also a possible cross-reference in case I can avoid the high cost of Volvo parts. Many thanks,
Guy

NAPA 2373
No need for high the cost of the Volvo name. Go to your local NAPA dealer.

MD7A Engine-mounted fuel filter
I use a NAPA water-separating fuel filter - #3472. It has a little plastic knob on the bottom to unscrew and let out any water. Not too expensive... I think maybe $9.

For Volvo parts I was extremely pleased with McDonnel Marine of Bloomfield, Ct. pho. 860-243-9114. Paul answers the pho. there and he has all the part #s and is extremely helpful.
While I agree in general that Napa replacements are a reasonable and cost effective replacement, if the manufacturers part is in the ball park I will opt for it. In looking at my Perkins manual I see that they claim their oil filters have a bypass if the pressure becomes too high so that the engine does not run without lub. I doubt that the Napa replacements have that. I have also experienced problems with air in fuel lines that may have been the result of using non original mfg. parts.
