Off engine oil filter

[kwakman29]

HELP, I've recently bought a Jeanneau Espace 1100 and I'm servicing the engine and I've noticed there's a second oil filter mounted on the forward bulkhead in the engine bay.  I've split it and found a paper wrapped bar, does anyone if this is a carbon / glacier filter and were can I get a replacement filter.  I'm assuming this is an additional filter and can be removed not affecting the engine.

Just a chance suggestion but are you sure it's another oil filter? Might it be a fuel filter?
