Fuel filter with housing having D-shaped cross section

摘要

Housing (2) of a fuel filter has a D-shaped cross section and has a fuel inlet (13) and outlet (14), the two being separated by a filter component (7). Preferably the housing is of a synthetic resin and the filter has a C-shaped cross section. The centre of the arc forming the D-shape of the housing cross section preferably coincides with the centre of the arc forming the C-shaped cross section. The centre of a curved sealing component (8) which seals a surface between an axial endplate (100) of the housing and an axial edge of the filter component is preferably displaced in relation to the centre of curvature of the D-shaped housing
