A fuel filter assembly and cartridge (1) for filtering, coalescing and separating solids, liquids, and gases from a liquid fuel flow including a housing (4) adapted to receive a removable cartridge (40). The cartridge (40) is in the form of an annular member having an outer annular filtering section (51) to remove solids and an inner annular coalescing section (52) to cause emulsified liquids, e.g. water, to form readily removable droplets in the flow. A separator (60) is situated within the inner periphery of the coalescing section (52) to deflect coalesced liquid for separation whilst permitting passage of the purified fluid therethrough. The coalesced liquid collects in a bowl 20 from which it can be drained off periodically. <IMAGE> |
