Filter assemblies, components and systems are provided with a bypass mechanism that allows fuel or other fluids to bypass a filter media of a filter upon a fault condition thereby allowing, for example, a combustion engine receiving fuel to continue to operate without interruption or loss of power in the event of fuel contamination and/or obstruction of the filter media. This advantageously allows an operator to bring a vehicle, vessel or equipment utilizing the engine to a safe condition prior to servicing the filter and inspecting other components of the filter system. |
