In line diesel fuel filter (sorry non Landrover again)

I know I keep asking non Landrover questions, but that's because
I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here.
I have a digger (yes that again) with a peugeot diesel engine, a
little thing about 1 litre I think.
It has an in line fuel filter (I'll try and take a picture
tomorrow). Strange thing. Quite large. It has 4 "ports" One is
the fuel in, one is the fuel out to the engine and the other two
are linked with a short loop of hose.
Anyway it's leaking. I can't determine where from or see much
prospect of stopping the leak, so I think the easiest thing is
just replace it with a new in line diesel filter.
But which one? Looking on ebay there are hundreds, but they all
seem to be much much smaller than the one I have. So what do I
really NEED. I just want a cheap simple in line diesel filter
that will work, and doesn't leak.
Any recommendations please?
Would something like this be okay

/> That's a LOT smaller than what's there, but then what's there
is NOT original so there's nothing to say it's right.

I wouldn't touch one of those for a Diesel - much too small so
not a lot of filter surface area.
THIS ONE

/>would be better - it might be wrongly listed as it's very
cheap
- they are normally £19+ so I would snap it up now :thumbs:
Cheers,
Robin.

I had seen that one. the seller lists lots and lots, all with
the same picture, but a different vehicle listed. So I wasn't
confident the picture is really a picture of what you are
getting.
It also appears to have three ports, not the two I'm "expecting"

I think you're right - generic image of something, not the
actual filter!
A quick search shows this HERE
HTML http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VAUXHALL-MIDI-FUEL-FILTER-2-0-Diesel-84-to-88-Mahle-Kl63Of-/111230814035<br
/>which I assume is what the other guy is selling.
Looks suitable to me :thumbs:

it might be too simple ?
why not put a landrover fuel filter in - at least they are easy
to get filters for - and will probably be lying about your spot
:rolleye0012:
its an idea ?

Well I've ordered one of those, on the basis that at £3.63
including postage, I won't cry into my beer if it proved to be
no good.
thanks.
