Which -3 Machines Take This Element
4649267 is tied to the second generation of the Zaxis line — the -3 machines that replaced the mechanical 6BG1 engine with the Isuzu 4HK1X common-rail unit. That covers the ZX200-3 and ZX200LC-3, the ZX210H-3 and ZX210LCH-3 and ZX210LCK-3, the ZX225US wheeled machines, ZX240-3 and ZX250LCH-3, ZX270-3 and ZX330-3, and it runs up through ZX450LC-3 and ZX470LCH-3 on the larger machines. The same element is listed on the wheeled ZX140W-3 through ZX220W-3 range and on the SCX500 crawler crane.
Two practical consequences follow. First, a site running a ZX200 and a ZX200-3 side by side needs two different fuel filter numbers, because the engine changed — the hydraulic element and the air cleaner are shared more widely than the fuel element is. Second, the same cartridge is carried by Kobelco as YN21P01068R100, by Isuzu as 8971527380 and by Case, New Holland and Sumitomo as KHH12030 / 47585451, so a workshop ordering for a mixed fleet can consolidate onto one filter-brand number.
Why We Ask for the Serial on This One
Most filters can be sold from a part number and a size. This one is the exception in the Hitachi range, because the number is published against two Donaldson equivalents with different lengths. The P502463 data reads 162.7 mm overall length; a supplier page for the same family reads 155 mm; a third lists 161 mm. All of them agree on about 94 mm outside diameter and on the machine list, which means the difference is real and the supplier who ships the wrong length will be shipping a filter that does not seat on its head gasket.
So we do the boring thing: machine model and serial, or the number printed on the element you are removing, or a photo with a tape measure across the length. Match confirmed before dispatch, and if you want the hydraulic element and the air cleaner pair on the same order, they ship together.
Water and Common-Rail Injectors
The reason this element is not the place to save money is on the other side of it. On a 4HK1X, whatever passes the fuel filter arrives at the high-pressure pump and then at the injectors, and injector sets on these engines are not a cheap part anywhere in the world. A 7 micron nominal rating — the figure published in this element family — is the specification-grade side of the market, not the cheapest one. If your machine has a pre-filter or water separator bowl ahead of the main element, service it at the same time: a fuel filter doing the job of a water separator is a filter that fails early.
What We Do Not Publish
No price, because the honest variables are quantity, specification level and shipping lane. No hour interval, because intervals belong to the machine's manual and duty cycle rather than to a web page. And no claim that one of the Hitachi numbers supersedes another, because the parts lists still carry all of them. What we publish is what we can show: the numbers, the published sizes, the cross-references and an honest warning about the two lengths.
FAQ
Q: What is the fuel filter element number for a Hitachi ZX200-3?
A: Hitachi 4649267. It is the engine fuel filter element listed against the -3 Zaxis machines running the Isuzu 4HK1X engine: ZX200-3 and ZX200LC-3, ZX210H-3, ZX210LCH-3 and ZX210LCK-3, ZX225USLC-3, ZX240-3 and ZX240LC-3, ZX250LCH-3, ZX250LCK-3 and ZX250LCN-3, ZX270-3 and ZX270LC-3, ZX330-3 and ZX350LCH-3. Aftermarket equivalents are Donaldson P502463 / P502423, Fleetguard FF5786, Baldwin PF7983 and MANN PU10026X.
Q: Is Hitachi 4649267 the same as 4676385?
A: Both numbers turn up against the same cartridge. EXCO's listing for the Donaldson equivalent P502463 gives its replaces-list as Hitachi 4649267 and 4676385 together with Kobelco YN21P01068R100, and sellers list 4649267, 4676385, 4676358, 467612763 and 8980758550 against one element. Treat them as alternative Hitachi numbers for the same fuel filter rather than different filters, and confirm the number against the parts book for your serial.
Q: Why is the 4649267 filter listed as 155 mm by one supplier and 162.7 mm by another?
A: Because the element is published under two Donaldson numbers, P502463 and P502423, with different overall lengths. Donaldson-numbered data for P502463 reads 162.7 mm length, 94.5 mm outside diameter and 26.2 mm inside diameter; a supplier page for the same family reads 155 mm long, 94 mm outside diameter and 24 mm bore, with a 7 micron rating; a third lists 161 mm by 94 mm by 26 mm. Diameters agree at about 94 mm, lengths span 155 to 163 mm. Measure the element you are replacing, or send the serial, before ordering.
Q: Does the same fuel filter fit Kobelco and other brands?
A: Yes. Cross-reference lists put Kobelco YN21P01068R100, YN21P01036R100 and LS21P01013R100, Isuzu 8971527380, Case and New Holland 47585451 (KHH12030), Sumitomo KHH12030 and Sany 60286607 against the same cartridge as Hitachi 4649267. That makes it a useful shelf item for a workshop serving mixed-brand fleets: one element covers several OEM numbers, and the filter-brand equivalents collapse the rest onto P502463 or FF5786.
Send the Serial, Get the Right Length
Model and serial number, the number printed on the old element, or a photo with a tape measure across it. We confirm the fuel cartridge for your ZX200-3, ZX210H-3, ZX240-3, ZX270-3 or ZX330-3, add the hydraulic element and air cleaner pair if you want the service set, and ship in 3–7 days, FOB Shanghai or CIF to your port.
