Abstract: A delivery device for the fuel of an internal combustion engine has a fuel tank (4) from which at least one fuel pump (14, 18) delivers fuel via a fuel supply line (10) and via at least one fuel filter (12, 16) to a fuel consumer (2). The consumer (2) is connected to the fuel tank (4) via a fuel return line (20). A control device (24) is connected between the supply line (10) and the return line (20). The control device establishes a fuel-conveying connection (80) between the return line (20) and the supply line (10) when the temperature in the fuel tank (4) falls below a predeterminable threshold temperature and at a predeterminable threshold pressure in the return line (20).

Abstract: A filter device, in particular for fluids polluted with admixtures of water, such as diesel oil, includes a filter housing (1) having a fluid inlet (43), a fluid outlet (44) and a filter element (9). During the filtering process, the fluid can flow through the filter medium (11) of the filter element from the unfiltered side (14) to the filtered side (13) of the filter medium and into its inner filter cavity (17). On at least one side of the filter medium (11), a water-separating system (23) has a separating region (25) for separated water. The water separating system is connected via at least one water opening (35) that is open toward the separating region (25) to a water collecting chamber (45). The filter element (9) has a passage (29) forming a fluid connection to the inner filter cavity (17) and can be connected to an element receptacle (47) of the filter housing (1). A fluid-conveying system (41) forms fluid paths separated from each other.
