ABSTRACT:
A fuel conditioner unit generally comprising a vertically oriented frame on either side of which are connected first and second filter housings, defining first and second filter chambers, for containing water separating and particle removing filter elements, respectively. An inlet is provided for introducing fuel from outside the unit to the first chamber, where water is separated and directed downwardly. The dewatered fuel is then transferred to the upper portion of the second chamber, where it moves downwardly over the particulate filter and is drawn out of the unit from an outlet port. A drain port is provided for discharging the water that is separated from the fuel in the first chamber. A vent can be provided in the upper portion of the second chamber for removing air that rises from the fuel as the fuel travels downwardly through the second chamber. In the preferred embodiment, the vent line from the first chamber and the drain line from the second chamber lead to the fuel tank, so that the air and water removed from the fuel are continuously returned to the fuel tank.
