B7100 Fuel Filter

[jrslick]

I have been replacing my fuel filter and oil filters with ones from Napa. I have been using part # 3389. The previous owner of my tractor had all the filter number written down in the owners manual that he used from napa. However, I am thinking it is now the wrong number. The filter did not fit inside the housing sediment bowl. It started to slide it in and then it got tight and I ended up having to tear the filter apart to get it out.

Does anyone know the correct number for Kubota B7100? Did they change the size. I have probably put 3 of them in over the last few years. I have never had this problem. I don't know if I wrote down the wrong number or did the manufacture mis-mark the one I got or did the sediment bowl shrink? or what happened. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Jay

I had one do that before too. It was boxed wrong. I took it back and exchanged it.

You can look up the filter part number on Kubota.com and cross it back to a Napa part number online or at the store.

Ok, I am not sure why this site is so prone to not taking pictures! Venting over.

But we have ran into this before at the dealership. What color is your bowl? is it kinda turning a root beer color? The plastic units will actually shrink just below the threaded ring area not allowing a filter in or out. This is due to sun exposure and heat cycles over the years.

Pat YOU ARE AWESOME!

Thank you, I looked up the numbers and double checked them and #3389 was correct. We compared the two filters and they were exactly the same so no mis-marked filter. The only thing left was the plastic shrunk.

Yes the filter is the root beer color, yes the plastic felt like it shrunk at the point. SO the answer is to buy a new sediment bowl and filter?

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

You can buy the bowl & o-ring at the dealer, or online (Coleman's, Messicks, etc.) without having to buy the whole assembly.
