A fuel filter comprising a filter body (10) defining an internal chamber (15) within which a filter medium (16) is to be located, the filter body (10) being of multi-part construction, the parts (10<u>a</u>, 10<u>b</u>) of the filter body (10) being non-removably, sealingly secured to one another. The filter body (10) is shaped to define an inlet port (11) and an outlet port (13) communicating with dirty and clean sides of the filter medium, respectively. The fuel filter may also include a second inlet port (12) for receiving fuel, a return port (14) arranged to permit the return flow of fuel from the filter to a low pressure fuel reservoir, and a temperature sensitive valve (22) operable to control whether fuel entering the filter body (10) through the second inlet port (12) is supplied to the dirty side of the filter medium (16) or supplied to the return port (14) for return to the fuel reservoir. |
