The fuel filter has an outlet for the filtered fuel in a lower base portion of a casing, and a valve associated with the outlet. The filter insert has an internal space in which filtered fuel flows and that accommodates a central member capable of moving the valve to an open position when the insert is in an operational configuration in the casing. The valve is urged, by default, to a sealed position cutting off the flow to the outlet, for example by resilient return arranged between the bottom of the filter and a wall of an interface that guides the lower end of the central member. The central member and the filter insert form a removable unit, and it is therefore possible, typically by way of a cover/removable unit fastening, to automatically obtain the sealed position after opening the top cover.
