I have the original plus the one you have. I belive the one you have is only a filter and the original will trap water aswell. So i would be using both.

Is that the type that uses a CAV 296 filter?
If so I would keep it in preference to the standard filter.
1. The glass bowl allows you to see the crap / water.
2. Replacement filters are cheap so you can replace them more often and still be in front.
3. Replacement filters can be bought just about anywhere.

On the TD42, you will need a lift pump to bleed the fuel lines and filter, which is normally part of the standard mounting assembly.
You either need an adapter to mount the aftermarket filter to the stock lift pump, or an aftermarket lift pump.

It will work fine AND catch water.

I have used these on a couple of Diesels.
