A fuel filter includes : a filtration chamber 61 consisting of an inner cylinder 57 and an outer cylinder 58 disposed concentrically with a predetermined space, a bottom wall part 60 that closes an opening end on one end side of the inner cylinder 57 and the outer cylinder 58, and a lid part 63 disposed with a fuel suction pipe 55 and a fuel sending pipe 52, that closes an opening end on the other end side of the inner cylinder 57 and the outer cylinder 58; and a filtering member 66 that is accommodated in a filtration chamber 61 and filtrates fuel that flows into the filtration chamber 61. In this filter, a centrifugal force applying member for centrifuging the fuel that flows into is disposed at the end of the filtering member 66 on the lid part 63 side. A groove portion 75 extending along an inner wall face of the outer cylinder 57 is formed on the bottom wall part 60. As a result, it is possible to separate and catch the metal abrasion powder produced in the fuel pump 8, thereby preventing the filtering member 66 from clogging, and extend life of the fuel filter and miniaturize the fuel filter. <IMAGE>
