    Hmm still fairly small, but appreciate your efforts.

    Width is more significant than height, thanks to Pi and radius-squared.

    The standard filter listed for that application is the Wix 51356, 86mm tall X 68mm wide, roughly like a beer can but shorter. The Wix 51334 is 82mm tall X 80mm wide, only slightly shorter but a LOT wider, so larger by about 30% in volume and 15% in can surface area (not counting the baseplate).

    I also just found another one even larger, the Wix 51344, albeit with a slightly wider gasket by about a half-mm, if your mounting flange has room for that. That's 103mm tall X 82mm wide, larger by about 40% in volume and 20% in can surface area vs. the standard 51356 filter.

    If I could get the actual measurements of your gasket mounting flange ID and OD, I may be able to find one even larger.
