A fuel injector filter is disclosed. The filter may include an inner ring concentrically surrounded by an outer ring. The inner ring may radially extend between an inner ring inner perimeter and an inner ring outer perimeter, and comprise a first port radially extending between the inner ring inner perimeter and the inner ring outer perimeter. The outer ring may radially extend between an outer ring inner perimeter and an outer ring outer perimeter, and comprise a first aperture radially extending between the outer ring inner perimeter and the outer ring inner perimeter. The first aperture may be circumferentially offset from the first port. A filtration channel may radially extend between the inner ring outer perimeter and the outer ring inner perimeter and be configured to impede movement of a particle toward the first port.
