Diesel engine fuel filter - has flow controlled by baffle system with upper skirt with central aperture, lower conical portion and radial ribs

摘要

The diesel fuel filter includes a main body portion within which is contained the fuel filter element. The fuel flows directly from its source into a fuel expansion chamber where moisture and most entrained solids and entrained air are removed prior to passing the fuel through the filter element. At the opposite end of the main body from the expansion chamber and downstream from the filter element is an end cap or lid that tightly seals the open end of the main body while providing a fuel inlet passageway and a fuel outlet passageway arranged in coaxial relationship. The outlet from the filter chamber is arranged so that entrained air is scavenged from the system and is not permitted to build up into a substantial pocket.
