TRI-FLOW FILTER ELEMENT WITH VENTING

摘要

A filter element and assembly which has three flow paths, has particular application to a fuel supply system for a diesel engine for filtering flow from the fuel tank as well as fuel returning from the engine that is to be recirculated back to the engine. The filter element and assembly provide a third flow path for filtering the recirculated fuel, while also providing for venting of both fuel paths to a drain flow path internally of the filter element.
