ABSTRACT:
An in-tank fuel filter for an automotive vehicle filters fuel entering a fuel intake. The fuel filter includes a filter element and a filter manifold integrally attached to a filter frame. The filter frame is disposed within the filter element to retain the shape of the filter element. The filter frame is subsequently detached from the filter manifold thereby creating a free-floating filter frame. This allows the filter frame to move relative to the manifold so as to allow ease of insertion of the filter into the fuel tank with limited destructive deformation of the filter.
