The device is applicable to a vehicle which comprises: a fuel filter ( 3 ) having a filtering means ( 31 ) for filtering the fuel entering the filter ( 3 ) and for separating the water present therein, and a collection chamber ( 32 ) for the separated water; a fuel reservoir ( 2 ) having a capacity adequate for the vehicle circulation; means ( 52 ) for transferring fuel from that region of the filter ( 3 ) lying downstream of the filtering means ( 31 ) to the engine feed means ( 5 ); means ( 41,42 ) for feeding fuel from the resevoir ( 2 ) to the inlet ( 34 a) of the filter ( 3 ) at a greater rate than the maximun flow rate transferred from the filter ( 3 ) to he feed means ( 5 ). The device comprises a second collection chamber ( 15 ) for the separated water and second means ( 20, 21 ) for tranferring liquid from the first collection chamber ( 32 ) to the second collection chamber ( 15 ) at the residual flow rate between that entering the filter ( 3 ) and that tranferred to the feed means ( 5 ).
