The filter element includes a filter media having pleats which extend in the direction parallel to the direction of movement of the vehicle uti lizing the filter element. In order to faciliate flow through the filter element, all inte rior surfaces of the housing slope toward a well in which the filter element is positioned and the filter element itself has laterally projecting flanges which slope downwardly t oward the filter media.
