An improved serviceable oil filter assembly is provided. The oil filter assembly includes a first end cap, a second end cap, a retainer element, and a cylindrical filter element. The first end cap defines a dirty oil inlet and a clean oil outlet. The second end cap includes a threaded collar for attachment to a threaded sidewall of the first endcap. The retainer element secures the cylindrical filter element within an interior volume of the oil filter assembly. The cylindrical filter element functions in combination with the retainer element to divide the interior volume of the serviceable oil filter assembly into a dirty oil chamber in fluid communication with the dirty oil inlet and a clean oil chamber in fluid communication with the clean oil outlet.

A filtration assembly filters diesel fuel used by a diesel engine and includes a filter element disposed within a housing. The housing includes an unfiltered fuel inlet and a filtered fuel outlet. The filter element disposed within the housing receives fuel from the fuel inlet. The filter element defines a peripheral wall sealably engaging filter media defining an unfiltered side and a filtered side of the filter element. The unfiltered side is enclosed with an impermeable barrier affixed to the peripheral wall and the filtered side is enclosed with a permeable water diffuser through which filtered fuel passes. A water separator assembly is disposed externally to the filter element receiving filtered fuel from the water diffuser. The water separator assembly includes water separator media preventing water from passing into the separator. The separator assembly interconnects to the filtered fuel outlet providing filtered, dewatered diesel fuel to the diesel engine.

Diesel fuel filter assembly

A filter assembly for filtering diesel fuel used by a diesel engine includes a housing that defines a housing opening, an unfiltered fuel inlet and a filtered fuel outlet. A panel is matable to the housing for sealably enclosing the opening for forming a housing chamber. A panel encloses the opening and defines an inner surface. A filter element formed from a peripheral wall includes filter media defining an unfiltered side and a filtered side of said filter element. The peripheral wall is sealably affixed to the inner surface enclosing the unfiltered side of the filter element from the housing chamber defining an unfiltered chamber. A permeable barrier is affixed to the peripheral wall defining a filtered chamber with the filtered side of said filter element receiving filtered fuel through the filter media. The housing chamber receives filtered fuel through though the permeable barrier.
