Argo Avenger 750 EFI fuel filter. The one to the right of the fuel pump (as you look at it from the rear)
Bottom ... Original Argo part ... Part number 24 050 03
Cost from the dealer 600 km away from me $75.00 plus $20 to ship it out to me. Cost from a subsidiary dealer 50 km from me $100 less a 10% discount ... $90 and I have to drive to pick it up.
Top ... Substitute filter from a local auto parts dealer (begins with N ends with A and two other letters in between) ... Part number 23301 ... Cost $4.88! Yes. I did write that correctly!
Your choice if you ever need to replace it. And Argo suggests you need to after every 1500 hours. Perhaps sooner in some cases.
Please notice the orientation differs. You might possibly be fooled by the looks, since the 'top', so to speak, of one is the 'bottom' of the other. Check the arrows! Also, the overall length from one tip to the other is identical, but the body of the 23301 is a nice bit shorter, so you might need to use a longer piece of gas line hose to connect it to the fuel,pressure regulator.
