LIQUID FILTER

摘要

A liquid filter for an internal combustion engine includes a housing having a pair of opposite end walls and a circumferentially extending side wall interconnecting the end walls. A centertube extends through the housing interconnecting the end walls and cooperates with the side wall to define an annular chamber which receives the filtering media. The centertube defines a rigid link interconnecting the end walls to reinforce the side wall, thereby permitting the housing to withstand relatively high hydraulic forces.
