Fuel filter assembly
A fuel filter includes a manifold, a connector element, a filter bowl, a filter element, an inlet shutoff valve, an outlet shutoff valve, an inlet port, an inlet passage, an outlet port, an outlet passage and a relief valve in which the connector element is fixed to the manifold, and the filter bowl is reversibly fixed to the connector element, the connector element and the manifold define a chamber and the chamber is split into a second inlet chamber and a second outlet chamber by the relief valve. The filter bowl is adapted to reversibly receive the filter element and is so configured that when the filter element is located within the filter bowl and the filter bowl attached to the connection element, the filter element divides the space defined by the connector element and filter bowl into an inlet filter chamber and an outlet filter chamber.
Self-assisting element removal features for a filtration system
A filtration assembly includes a filter housing and a filter element. The filter housing includes a base and a cover including an underside having one or more retainer features. The cover is removably coupled to the base. The filter element is removably installed within the base when the cover is coupled to the base. The filter element includes filter media and an endplate coupled to one end of the filter media. The endplate includes an outer perimeter and one or more engagement features protruding from the outer perimeter. The one or more engagement features engage the one or more retainer features in the cover upon installation of the endplate into the cover, thereby coupling the endplate to the cover.

FILTER DEVICE
A filter device includes a functional element and a filter element arranged in a filter housing. The filter element includes an enclosure positioned about a central axis and below filter material of the filter element. The enclosure includes an enclosure wall that defines an inner volume that is in fluid communication with an orifice of the functional element when the filter element is positioned over the functional element.

FUEL MODULE FOR ENGINE HAVING SERVICE VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR COMMON DRAIN FROM PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FILTERS
A filter module for filtering fuel in an engine system includes a primary filter, a secondary filter, and a module housing. A drain valve is movable between a closed position blocking a drain port in the module housing, and an open position. A service valve assembly is positioned at least partially within a cross passage in the module housing and adjustable from a closed configuration blocking a primary-side fuel passage from a secondary-side fuel passage in the module housing, to an open configuration, to drain fluids from the filter module by way of the single drain port.

Exchangeable filter of a treatment device for treatment of, in particular, liquid fluids and a treatment device
An exchangeable filter of a treatment device has a housing with a housing pot and a housing cover connected to the open side of the housing pot. The exchangeable filter is connectable to a connecting head of the treatment device with a bayonet-type connecting device. The connecting device has a housing connecting part on the housing interacting with a head connecting part of the connecting head for connecting the connecting device. The housing has an inlet for a fluid to be treated connectable to a supply conduit of the treatment head and an outlet for the treated fluid connectable to a discharge conduit of the treatment head. The housing pot has a rim at the open side of the housing pot. The rim radially outwardly surrounds the housing connecting part and axially projects past the housing connecting part in a direction away from the housing bottom.
