Abstract
An arrangement for cleaning fuel has a housing, a deflecting member in the housing and forming an annular gap extending between a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet and also a water storing chamber separated from the fuel inlet, and electrical water-level-indicating device including a rod-shaped impulse generator extending through the deflecting member into the interior of the water storing chamber and a one-piece float located in the water storing chamber and cooperating with the impulse generator, and a water discharge device provided with a throttle valve which includes a water discharge opening in the bottom of the housing and a throttle valve member cooperating with the water discharge opening, wherein the float forms the throttle member and has a guide opening and a closing surface cooperating with the water discharge opening, the guide opening goes completely through the float and the rod-shaped impulse generator extends into the throughgoing guide opening in condition of the closed throttle valve so as to guide the float in the housing, and the closing surface and the water discharge opening are radially offset relative to the throughgoing guide opening.
