  • Facial sealing system for a filter
    Patent number: 11446595
    Abstract: A fuel filter system that does not require the periodic draining of a water sump. The system includes a fuel tank for storing fuel and a fuel filter fluidly coupled to the fuel tank for separating water from the fuel. A fuel pump has a suction side and a high pressure side. The high pressure side of the fuel pump is fluidly coupled to the fuel filter for pumping fuel to the fuel filter. A water emulsifier, such as an orifice, is fluidly coupled to the fuel filter to receive water and fuel from the fuel filter and form a water-fuel emulsion. The water-fuel emulsion is supplied to any point in the system on the suction side of the fuel pump, such that the water-fuel emulsion passes through the fuel pump and fuel filter.

  • INTEGRATED SMART FUEL FILTRATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170298881
    Abstract: An integrated fuel water separator filter system is provided. The fuel water separator filter may include a plurality of fuel water separator filters, with at least one fuel water separator filter including electronic sensors to monitor the life of the fuel water separator filter and the amount of water present in the fuel water separator filter. A heater heats the fuel in the fuel water separator filter.
