Larger Mercedes diesel fuel filter available?

I'm looking for a spin on fuel filter that will fit the stock filter housing on a 240D. Here are some spec for the filter I have on there now. NAPA 3149 Gasket I.D. (Inches):2.43 Gasket I.D. (mm):61.72mm Gasket O.D. (Inches):2.736 Gasket O.D. (mm):69.49mm Gasket Thickness (Inches):0.226 Gasket Thickness (mm):5.74mm Height (Inches):3.404 Height (mm):86.46mm Inlet Thread Size (mm):14x1.5mm O.D. (Inches):2.939 O.D. (mm):74.65mm Style:Spin-On Fuel I'd like something taller. Has anyone found a larger replacement, for the same housing?

Consider adding a second filter

To my knowledge there is no larger filter available for this special housing. On all my diesels I add a second filter/water separator just before the factory filter. This does two things. 1. It gives you two stage filtering (which is even better than a single stage larger filter). 2. It gives you filter redundancy (which a single filter can not). If you are on the road and the first filter plugs up you can just bypass it and continue driving.

We offer a special filter installation kit just for this purpose. It can even be purchased with larger filter elements. CLICK HERE to view our offerings.
