Viessmann oil boiler filter

[DoctorKeo]

Hi, I have a Viessman oil boiler with an oil filter that uses a small cartridge filter which is quickly (about 12 weeks of use) blocked by the dirty fuel we get in Cyprus. The cartridges are very difficult to get – Even Viessmann Europe doesn’t have stock. I’m thinking of changing the oil filter, all the plumbers merchants spoken to (6) have offered me is a stainless steel filter, instead of the replaceable filter. After reading about the filters these will only filter out larger particles from the fuel. Will this different type be suitable? Thanks - Doctor Keo

The gauze ones won't keep out the muck as well as the paper ones, but I think it would be a good idea to put a gauze filter in first, straight from the tank - which would also serve as a water trap,- followed by a paper filter to keep things as clean as possible.
If you can download the AGBO catalogue, they have loads of filters in there....maybe you could bulk buy from the UK?
