Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A filter device includes a casing having an inlet for introducing fluid and an outlet for discharging fluid, and a filtering element disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The filtering element has an outer circumference face restricted from being deformed in a fluid flowing direction. The filtering element has an upstream end face on an upstream side in the fluid flowing direction, and a downstream end face on a downstream side in the fluid flowing direction The filtering element is configured to be compressed toward the upstream end face by pressing the downstream end face.

Abstract: A fuel supply system includes a plurality of fuel pumps, and one suction filter. The suction filter includes connection portions that are connected to pump inlets of the fuel pumps, and an interval adjusting member that adjusts the interval between the connection portions in accordance with the interval between the fuel pumps. Thus, it is possible to fit the suction filter to the fuel pumps without changing the interval between the fuel pumps. Because the interval between pump outlets is not changed, it is possible to minimize the problems that are likely to occur when the suction filter is fitted to the fuel pumps.

Abstract: A filter element is formed from a filter material configured to capture a foreign substance in fuel. A lower case is attachable to and detachable from a bottom portion of a housing in a movable direction. The housing and the lower case are configured to accommodate the filter element. The filter element defines a passage extending through the filter element in the movable direction. The passage is configured to accommodate the component. The component is configured to be attached to and detached from the housing together with the lower case when the lower case is attached to and detached from the housing.

Abstract: A vaporized fuel processing device attached to a fuel tank, includes a casing for forming an outer shell of the vaporized fuel processing device, a diaphragm valve unit opened at the time of increasing the pressure in the fuel tank, and a vent passage communicating with atmospheric air. In the vaporized fuel processing device, the diaphragm valve unit is disposed in a space formed in the casing.

Abstract: A resin tank weld member is a weld member that is to be welded to a resin tank that has a fuel permeation prevention function, for example, a pipe fitting, a fuel control valve such as a fuel escape prevention valve, an ORVR valve, etc., a pump, a filter device, etc. The resin tank weld member is formed from a single-layer material of a polyamide/polyolefin-based resin composition.

Abstract: A filter device includes a filtering member having a rough part, which is comparatively low in a density of flow pores for flowing fluid, and a dense part, which is comparatively high in the density of the flow pores. The filter device further includes a support member that supports the filtering member and has an inflow passage and a discharge passage. The dense part supports the rough part, and is located between the rough part and the discharge passage, and is supported by a mechanical pressure applied by the support members. The filter device is capable of supporting the filtering member easily in a case member and securing a filtering area to enhance the performance of removing a foreign matter.

Abstract: A fuel filter includes: a case; a filter medium disposed in the case; and a fuel discharge guidance member that forms a space between the filter medium and a fuel discharge opening for discharging a fuel filtered by the filter medium to outside the fuel filter, and that has inside the space a sloped surface in which the fuel discharge opening is disposed at a highest position and which is sloped downward from the fuel discharge opening.

Abstract: A diesel filter includes a filter member and a water reservoir formed below the filter member. The filter member has a case, a cap for closing the opening of the case, an element, and an element-holding member for holding an upper part of the element, and is detachably housed in the case. The element-holding member has an opening that allows fuel to flow out, and the fuel introduced from a fuel inlet port to a portion above the element-holding member is then introduced to the water reservoir via a passage formed between the inner peripheral surface of the case and the outer peripheral surface of the element.

Abstract: A diesel filter includes a case, a cap for closing the opening of the case, an element housed in the case, and an attachment member having a holding portion and a bracket. The attachment member and the cap hold the case therebetween. The bracket is provided to fix the diesel filter to a predetermined portion. The cap can be detached in a state where the attachment member is fixed to the predetermined portion by the bracket, so that the element can be replaced in the same state.
