Abstract
The invention relates to a system for the conduction of liquid media, for example fuels, between a tank and a delivery point, especially fuel consumption measuring systems or fuel conditioning systems, which includes a bubble-separating arrangement, as well as a filter element for use in such a system. For the simple and effective detection and separation of bubbles and further contaminations of every type in the particular liquid medium and, if necessary, the further development for additional simple and rapid determination of their volumes and therewith consideration in possible measurements, it is provided that the bubble-separating arrangement is formed by a filtering device and in the filtering device the connection for the liquid medium is arranged in a zone outside the filtering element.
