ABSTRACT:
A fuel filter assembly 16 for a fuel system for an internal combustion engine 10 which comprises a fuel filter housing 16 supporting a filter material 20 in a filter chamber 18 for disposition in a fuel line between a fuel tank 12 and an injector pump 14, and a fuel reservoir 22 disposed downstream from the filter chamber 18 for storing a volume of fuel. The assembly is characterized by an inlet valve 24 controlling fuel flow between the filter chamber 18 and the reservoir 22 for maintaining a predetermined volume of fuel in the reservoir 22 to provide a substantially constant fuel pressure to the injector pump 14. A float 26 is disposed in the reservoir 22 for opening the valve 24 in response to the fuel being below the predetermined volume and closing the valve 24 in response to the fuel being above the predetermined volume.
