Abstract
A scavenge tube is slidably attached to either a filter head housing or a liquid return port in a wall of a vessel. The scavenge tube can be slidably positioned to ensure that the tube is oriented within the area where the collected liquid will pool. In one example, the scavenge tube is slidably attached to the housing by way of being spring-biased. A slidable grounding tube is attached to an electrically grounded filter head housing and projects into a liquid collection region of a filter member and is in touching engagement with a metal portion of the filter member to ground the filter member to the filter head. In one example, the slidable grounding tube is spring-biased.
