A filter system (200) includes a housing (210) in which a replaceable filter element (100) is arranged between a pre-filtration side (202) and a post-filtration side (204). The filter element (100) has an element-fixed central tube (150), wherein a closure element (10) is provided on a housing side, the closure element (10) opening a post-filtration-side fluid outlet (250) when the filter element (100) has been inserted, and blocking the post-filtration-side fluid outlet (250) when the filter element (100) has been removed. The filter element (100) has an actuating element (160) for the closure element (10).

The present invention is a system and method for adapting and modifying an existing mono-fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine to run as a bi-fuel system by reusing and repurposing OEM components of the mono-fuel system. The bi-fuel system makes use of an integration plate that may be mounted to the system fuel filter in substantially the same location as the fuel filter is mounted in the mono-fuel configuration. The integration plate also may deliver either fuel types into the existing engine fuel intake port thus the system does not require the creation of a secondary fuel intake port for the secondary fuel. The integration plate may also be situated such that it minimizes the space it must use within the engine compat anent and it may use the preexisting engine mounting points designed for the fuel filter in the mono-fuel system.

The invention relates to a filter element (10) having a first fluid path (12) on a raw side (60) for filtering a first fluid (64) and a second fluid path (14) having a fluid line (16) on a clean side (62) for carrying a second fluid (66). The filter element (10) is provided at least on one side with a first end plate (20). Here, the fluid line (16) is arranged in the central inner region (36) of the filter element (10) and connected with the end plate (20) for joint disassembly, especially securely connected to the filter element. The invention further relates to a filter system (100) including such a filter element (10).

A filter assembly that comprises a housing, an outer filter element, and an inner filter element. The outer filter element is positionable within the housing and comprises an outer filter media. The inner filter element is positionable within the outer filter element and comprises an inner filter media, a media support structure, an inner top endplate, and an inner bottom endplate. The inner top endplate comprising a top rib that extends continuously around a portion of a top surface of the inner top endplate.

Disclosed is a filter element (86) with multi-stage cleaning, and a fuel filter (84) having such a filter element (86). The filter element (86) has a particle filter medium, a coalescer medium, a sediment gap (98) and a final separator screen. The filter housing has a filter housing body (110) and a cover (106) screwed onto the filter housing body (110). When the cover (106) is unscrewed from the filter housing body (110), at least one bayonet projection (112) of the filter element (86) engages behind a corresponding bayonet receptacle (114), such that the cover (106) can be removed together with the filter element (86) arranged thereon by way of the bayonet connection.

A fuel supply device includes a fuel pump, a filter case, a fuel passage, a discharge passage, and a residual pressure holding valve. A communication port opens at a shifted position of the fuel passage that is positionally shifted from the residual pressure holding valve toward the discharge passage. The fuel passage includes an outside passage part through which fuel flows from the communication port toward the discharge passage, and an inside passage part that throttles a flow of fuel flowing from the communication port toward the residual pressure holding valve more than the outside passage part. When a passage cross-sectional area of the inside passage part is converted into a passage cross-sectional area of a circular pipe, D which is a passage diameter of the circular pipe, and L which is a length of the inside passage part satisfy a relational expression of L/D3.

The invention relates to a filter element (10) having a first fluid path (12) for filtering a first fluid and a second fluid path (14) having a fluid line (16) for carrying a second fluid, wherein a non-return valve (18) is arranged in the second fluid path (14), said non-return valve (18) closing the second fluid path (14) if a flow of the first liquid through the filter element (10) is interrupted. The invention further relates to a filter system (100) including such a filter element (10).
