Abstract
A sedimenter comprises a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The housing defines a collection chamber located beneath and in communication with a sedimentation chamber. Flow path defining means, for example in the form of a baffle, located within the sedimentation chamber forces fuel flowing between the inlet and the outlet to follow a relatively long, tortuous flow path.
