Abstract: A filter apparatus is disclosed for separating fluids of different densities. The apparatus has a relatively small housing size such that it is particularly suited for installation in passenger vehicles. The construction of the subject filter is intended to eliminate sealing problems found in the prior art as well as to permit the utilization of a filter having increased capacity.
Abstract: The subject invention relates to a filter apparatus for separating fluids of varying density. The subject filter is particularly adapted for use with diesel engines. The apparatus includes a new and improved baffle system which increases the separation of fluids. In addition, a unique filter cartridge is disclosed which is readily replaceable. The cartridge also functions to reduce the likelihood of the formation of air pockets.
