ABSTRACT:
A filter element (22) includes pleated filter media (26) having a plurality of pleats (28) in a closed annular loop having an outer perimeter (30) defined by a plurality of outer pleat tips (32), and an inner perimeter (34) defined by a plurality of inner pleat tips (36), the closed annular loop having a hollow interior (38) extending along an axis (40), wherein fluid to be filtered flows laterally through the filter media and flows axially (58) in the hollow interior (38). The filter element (22) has an axial flow passage (56) along the axis (40) and circumscribing the hollow interior (38) and has a flow perimeter (60) greater than the inner perimeter (34) of the filter element defined by the inner pleat tips (36). An end cap (66) of resilient compressible material at the axial end (62) of the filter element bears radially between and is radially compressed between an outer liner (102) and a flow tube (90) at the enlarged flow passage (56).
