Support and locking structure for a fuel filter

摘要

A supporting structure for a fuel filter assembly provides a latch which is manually movable without the necessity of tooling into either a locking position or an unlocking position. By manually moving the latch, a collar of the fuel filter assembly can be freed to rotate about a supporting cover so that the reservoir can be removed. The assembly can also be manually removed from a support bracket without the use of tooling. The fuel filter assembly provides a resilient mounting system that isolates the fuel filter and its associated components from the vibrations that are inherent in an internal combustion engine.
