Improved high capacity fluid filter assemblies (10, 58) especially adapted for racing vehicles are provided. The assemblies (10, 58) include an elongated, rigid tubular outer casing (12) with endmost fittings (22, 60, 24) permitting flow of fluid through the casing (12). An elongated filtering element (14) formed of sintered bronze is located within the casing (12) and has a length at least three times the maximum outer dimension of the filtering element (14). In order to promote flow of fluid through the filtering element, a continuous fluid zone (52) is provided within the casing (12) outboard of the filtering element (14). A secondary sintered bronze filtering member (54) may be secured within the outlet end fitting (24).
