Abstract
A filter element includes a first filter media defining a central channel. An endcap is disposed on an end of the filter media, the endcap defining an outlet for clean fluid to exit the filter media. A second filter media is disposed radially inward of the first filter media, the second filter media structured to coalesce water. A hydrophobic screen is disposed across the outlet defined in the endcap.
