Abstract
A diesel filter includes a filter member and a water reservoir formed below the filter member. The filter member has a case, a cap for closing the opening of the case, an element, and an element-holding member for holding an upper part of the element, and is detachably housed in the case. The element-holding member has an opening that allows fuel to flow out, and the fuel introduced from a fuel inlet port to a portion above the element-holding member is then introduced to the water reservoir via a passage formed between the inner peripheral surface of the case and the outer peripheral surface of the element.
