Abstract: A suction device may include a suction channel, a first valve, and a second valve. The suction channel may include a first suction portion and a second suction portion disposed opposite one another in a transverse direction. The first valve may be arranged in the first suction portion. The first valve may include a first valve seat and a moveable first valve body. The second valve may be arranged in the second suction portion. The second valve may include a second valve seat and a moveable second valve body. When a transverse acceleration is equal to or greater than a predefined transverse acceleration, one of the first valve and the second valve may close while the other one of the first valve and the second valve remains open. When the transverse acceleration is less than the predefined transverse acceleration, the first valve and the second valve may both be open.

Abstract: A ring filter element for a filter device may include a connecting region and an axially projecting pin. The pin may include an arm via which the pin is connected to the connecting region. The arm may include a predetermined breaking point disposed spaced apart from the connecting region.

Abstract: A fuel filter assembly includes a filter housing, a center stack, a top portion, a center stack base, and a fuel filter. The fuel filter includes a filter center support having a first portion extending along a first axial length, and a second portion extending along a second axial length, the first portion having a first inner diameter that is greater than a second inner diameter of the second portion, and having a first inner contact surface at the first inner diameter, and a filter base having an opening, the opening having an opening diameter and defining a second inner contact surface. When positioned within the filter housing, the fuel filter contacts the center stack at a first axial location and at the first inner contact surface, and it contacts a center stack base of the center stack at a second axial location and at the second inner contact surface.

Abstract: A fuel filter assembly includes a filter housing defining a cavity, a center stack having a base component and a top portion. The center stack is positioned within the cavity of the filter housing and attached to the housing, the center stack having an axial aperture in the top portion, the axial aperture having a circumferential surface, and a fuel filter. The fuel filter includes a filter base, an end cap having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, an axial extension that extends from the bottom surface, and at least one prong attached to the axial extension, the at least one prong having an axial surface facing away from the top surface that axially locates the fuel filter in the housing against the circumferential surface, a filter element attached to the bottom surface of the end cap, and a pin attached to a filter base.

Abstract: A fuel filter for an internal combustion engine may include a filter housing, a filter housing cover detachably connected to the filter housing, a filter space delimited by the filter housing cover and the filter housing, and a ring filter element arranged in the filter space. The filter housing cover may include a head portion and a foot portion. The filter housing cover may have at least one foot inner diameter and at least one head inner diameter that extend transversely to an axial direction. The ring filter element may have at least one outer diameter that corresponds to the at least one foot inner diameter. The at least one head inner diameter may be smaller than the at least one foot inner diameter. The ring filter element may form a venting device, which may form at least one venting channel that leads into the head portion.

Abstract: A filter includes an end cap having a top surface, and a circumferential collar extending from the top surface, the circumferential collar having a radial surface that engages radially with one or more fingers that extend from an inner surface of a filter housing cover, a filter base, a filter element positioned between the end cap and the filter base, and a pin extending below the filter base.
