    Hello.

    Help please, Engine model 4 YCL ruston diesel . In a narrow gauge loco. Does any one know of a current oil filter to fit this engine. The original filter is of a mesch with felt construction. Definately not fit for further use.
    Thanks

    Tractionads, with whom I have no connection, seem to be offering something similar on this page http://www.tractionads.co.uk/html/ruston.htm

    Near the bottom of the page it includes "YC lube oil strainer"

    Good luck

    Thank you Nick and others who have helped out on this one.

    Concluded that a kit is available to refresh the original engine oil filter assembly. It is by HIFI SN 046 . Its a felt type of filter attached to a stainless steel mesch which has two felt washers to make good seals.

    It may be of use to others to know it is available.

    It fits beautifully.
