ABSTRACT:
A fuel filter has a supporting body comprising plastic which is enclosed in a filter fabric and which has a pump connection neck positioned on the top side of the filter. The pump connection neck, with its bottom end extending in close proximity to the bottom of the filter, has an inlet opening. The inlet opening is surrounded by a number of supporting feet. According to the invention, the inlet opening (9) is covered by a plastic disk (12) extending normal to the axis (14) of the pump connection neck (6). The plastic disk (12) is connected with the supporting feet (10) in such a way that the filter fuel flows into the pump connection neck (6) in a radial direction.
