Filter Element of a Fuel Filter and Method for Producing such a Filter Element

摘要

A filter element of a fuel filter for fuel has a filter medium of a tubular shape. An end member is seal-tightly connected to an end face of the filter medium. A support tube is arranged coaxial to the filter medium and has an end connected to the end member, wherein the support tube has a circumferential wall provided with passages allow fuel to pass through the support tube. A coalescing medium for coalescing water contained in the fuel is provided. A section of the coalescing medium is seal-tightly embedded in the end member. The section of the coalescing medium is supported by the filter medium and the support tube for shape stabilization of the coalescing member.
