The filter includes a fabric body, an in-situ molded outlet fitting on the top side of the fabric body and runners or contact points on the underside of the body. The fabric body may be a single folded fabric swatch or a plurality of swatches sealed about the open edges. The outlet fitting cooperatively engages the inlet of a fuel pump.
