Abstract: A filter element (300) comprising a housing (400) and a filter medium (500). The housing (400) comprises a plurality of walls forming a filter compartment (420), and an outlet chamber (422). A downstream wall (448) has a circular outlet opening (470) and an annular sealing gasket (472) surrounding the outlet opening (470). Lower corners (450) and sidewall fingers (452) carry clips (454, 456) for mounting the filter element (300) to an affixed bracket. The bottom wall (442) has a shroud-aligning catch (466) and fastener-insertion receptacles (468) for shroud-securing thumbscrews.

Abstract: A filter cartridge includes a fuse element (500) that closes an exit door (502) when an inlet-outlet pressure differential rises to a range corresponding to a clogged filter media. The fuse element (500) comprises a plastic poppet (540) that remains staged on a podium (520) during normal operation. An increase in inlet pressure and/or a decrease in outlet pressure pushes the poppet (540) away from the podium (520) and positions it to seal the exit door (502).

Abstract: A water separator is formed in two pieces, one of which is unitary (in one piece) with the intake air scoop, and the other of which is unitary (in one piece) with the air cleaner housing, or cowl therefore. An inlet scoop piece includes an enlarged rib defining an internal enlarged channel. A drain tube extends downwardly from the annular rib. An outlet scoop piece includes an internal lip, projecting co-axial with the body of the water separator. The inlet scoop piece alternatively can include both the enlarged rib portion and the internal lip. The outlet scoop piece has a forward-facing receiving channel, outwardly surrounding the lip, which receives a forward facing mouth of the inlet scoop to properly align the inlet scoop with the outlet scoop. Attachment flanges are provided on each piece to connect the inlet scoop with the outlet scoop.
