FUEL SYSTEM AND FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY.

摘要

A filter assembly (10) for a standpipe (14) having an opening (20) for the introduction of filtered fluid into the standpipe includes a filter (12). The filter (12) has a filter element (18) in fluid communication with the opening (20). The filter (12) is configured to seal fluid from the opening (20) except fluid flowing through the filter element (18). A valve assembly (42) is biased by a spring (46) against a first surface of the filter (12), and the valve assembly has a seal (58) on a surface facing the standpipe (14). As the filter (12) is displaced, the valve assembly (42) displaces along the standpipe (14) under bias of the spring (46) until the seal (58) of the valve assembly seals the opening (20).
