Would anyone happen to have a filter number for a 7050 glass fuel filter, I need a number to reference one from Napa. Thanks

Is it supposed to be glass? The dealer has always handed me the steel one.

They can be interchanged in most instances. The glass is rated at a lower pressure than the steel, so that must be taken into consideration if there is a pump before the filter. I've had both on my 7000 over the years, just depended on where I bought it. Also, some people seem to be cautious of using the glass filters on combines, thinking they are a higher risk of fire. A metal should be able to be used anywhere a glass was used, but a glass cannot necessarily be used where a metal one was.

Yes I've used both over the years. I trust the steel one more but my 7050 has no pump before the filter so not a big worry. My L2 has the spin-on but uses a glass water separator that is not really a so-called filter. Just wondering what was correct for my 7050. Doesn't really matter I just use the steel ones now and have a couple on the shelf at all times.

The glass fuel filter (not the glass water separator) was replaced by Allis-Chalmers 40+ years ago with the metal fuel filter. This was because on some (not all) engines the hand primer actually pressurized the filter and it could explode. I still have a scar on one of my fingers from one of those happenings. The glass water separator was always downstream from the hand primer, so that wasn't a problem. The glass water separator and the fuel filter do not and will not interchange as the filter bases are ported different.

I went with the glass filter Acdiesel gave the number for, it is located before the pump.
