Filter device
A filter device may include a filter housing with a filter housing pot and a cover screwable onto the filter housing pot, and an annular filter element arranged in the filter housing and having an axially protruding pin for closing a run-off channel. The annular filter element may be connected to the cover via a first thread, which may have a dome protruding centrally and axially from an upper end disc of the annular filter element. The first thread may be designed running counter to a second thread arranged between the filter housing pot and the cover.
Fuel filter assembly
A fuel filter includes a manifold, a connector element, a filter bowl, a filter element, a 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 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, the inlet port is incorporated in the manifold, and the inlet port and inlet filter chamber are in fluid communication via the inlet passage, the outlet port is incorporated in the manifold.
PROCESS FOR REDUCING INJECTOR DEPOSITS
A process for reducing injector deposits in an internal combustion engine fuelled with a fuel composition, the process comprising contacting a fuel composition with a metal-selective membrane situated in the fuel delivery system. The reduction of such deposits provides an increase in fuel efficiency, fuel thermal stability, boost in engine cleanliness, improves fuel economy and enables the possibility of using a reduced amount of expensive detergent in the fuel composition.

IMPENDING BYPASS SWITCH WITH MAGNETIC SENSOR
An impending bypass switch includes a housing having a fluid inlet for admitting fluid into an interior of the housing. A piston is displaceable in the interior of the housing in response to a pressure variation of the fluid in the interior. A magnetic sensor is configured to receive a current and is fixedly mounted to the housing. A magnet is mounted to the piston to be displaced with the piston. Displacement of the magnet relative to the magnetic sensor causes a change in the current through the magnetic sensor. The change in the current is indicative of an impending bypass of a component.
FUEL SYSTEM WITH VAPOR MANAGEMENT
A fuel system, including a first pump, a second pump and a filter module. The filter module has a housing defining an interior, a filter received in the interior, a filter inlet through which fluid flows into the interior, a filter outlet from which fluid flows out of the interior, and a vent body received within the interior. The vent body has a passage and a vent orifice. The filter is arranged so that fluid that enters the filter inlet flows through the filter before flowing out of the filter outlet and the interior includes an upper portion arranged above a lower portion relative to the force of gravity, and the passage communicates with the filter outlet and with the lower portion of the interior and the vent orifice communicates with the passage and with the upper portion of the interior.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING ENGINE INLET PRESSURE VIA A FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM OF A TRANSPORT CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
A fuel delivery system for controlling an inlet pressure of a prime mover in a transport climate control system is provided. The fuel delivery system includes a fuel tank, a pressure regulator, a pump disposed downstream of the fuel tank, a first filter disposed downstream of the pump, and the prime mover disposed downstream of the first filter. The prime mover is located above the fuel tank in a vertical direction. The pump is configured to provide a first fuel flow through the first filter. The prime mover is configured to accept a first portion of the first fuel flow and is configured to provide a return fuel flow. The pressure regulator is disposed downstream of the first filter. The pressure regulator is configured to accept a second portion of the first fuel flow, and to accept a pressure of the return fuel flow as a reference pressure.

Filtration system with automatic drain plug
A filtration system includes a housing and a filter element positioned within the housing. The housing includes a first housing end and a second housing end. A drain opening is defined in the second housing end. The filter element includes a first endplate and a second endplate defining an endplate opening. Filter media is positioned between and extending axially between the first endplate and the second endplate. The filter media defines a central opening extending axially therein. A drain plug axially protrudes from the second endplate in a direction away from the filter media. The drain plug is configured to engage the drain opening and facilitate installation of the filter element into the housing. A lid is configured to engage the first housing end. The engagement between the lid and the first housing end occurs when the drain plug is disposed within the drain opening.
