The present invention is directed to a fuel filter (10) for use with an internal combustion engine including a housing (14) defining at least a portion of a chamber (22), a filter material (78) located within the chamber for removing impurities from the fuel and defining at least a portion of the boundary between a filtered fuel cavity (82) and an unfiltered fuel cavity (79), an inlet (28) in fluid communication with the fuel tank and the unfiltered fuel cavity (79), an engine outlet (32) in fluid communication with the filtered fuel cavity (82) and the engine, a fuel tank outlet (30) in fluid communication with the filtered fuel cavity (82) and the fuel tank, and a flow diverter (16) located within the chamber. The flow diverter defines at least a portion of a fuel flow path between the inlet (28) and the unfiltered fuel cavity (79) and between the unfiltered fuel cavity (82) and the fuel tank outlet (30).
