Beta 14 (BZ482) - oil and filter equivalents please

[Burnham Bob]

I used to use a local Motor Factor who supplied Unipart filters. Fuel was GFE5375 and oil was GFE321. Now the shop has closed I'm trying to buy new filters and don't want to pay Beta dealer prices. However, the Unipart numbers aren't anywhere on Google - probably because the business has changed hands/gone under.

Anyone know part numbers for another brand of filter manufacturer?

Beta BZ482:

Oil filter equivalents: Fram PH5343, Crossland 2142
Fuel Filter equivalents: Fram P4766, Crossland 5004

With the above most motor factors will be able to use cross reference guides from their suppliers to find equivalents from other makes.

This guy on e-bay supplies Beta engibe filter sets at a reasonable price:

thanks Grievsie - they couldn't match the unipart numbers!

Beta BZ482:

Oil filter equivalents: Fram PH5343,.

The filter for my Beta25 was PH5343, when I recently went to buy one at my local motor factors, I was told that it is now re-numbered as PH5317.

You could also check at Boat parts & spares:

I ordered from them recently for my BD722 and received this:
Air: Baldwin PA4732 (366A)
Fuel: Coopers Fiaam FT5006/FSM4027
Oil: Mahle OC196
The air filter was not exactly the same dimensions as the original Beta filter, but still fits the can.

I have a Beta 14, but where does the designation BZ482 come from?

I have in my manual:

B-14 HE
Beta WOC No. K276684
Engine No. BR0730

Does this take the same? If I could get the spares from a local factor, that would be best.

I think BZ482 is what Beta used to call that engine, before making their engine names more standardised and user friendly - Beta 10, Beta 14, etc. Exactly the same engine, I believe, just new name.

(WOC = Works Order Card. Enables Beta to track exactly what components, extras, mods, etc. your engine was supplied with. useful when ringing them for spares.)

Thanks! Now, if my local Autospares shop, just round the corner, could find generic equivalents.......
