Abstract: An electrically conducting fuel filter mechanism for a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine. The housing for the fuel filter has a conductive inner or core layer and at least one non-conductive outer layer positioned adjacent the fuel. The conductive layer is made from a non-conductive material with conductive fibers or powders mixed in it, while the non-conductive layer is free from the conductive materials. Any electrostatic or electrical charge buildup in the fuel filter, fuel or housing, will be dissipated through the inner non-conductive layer forming conductive paths directly to the conductive layer. This prevents any further charge buildup and pitting.
