Filter Housing for a Fuel Filter

A fuel system comprising:

• an internal combustion engine;
• a fuel tank that is connected to the internal combustion engine via a fuel supply line;
• a fuel pump configured to receive fluid from the fuel tank and supply pressurized fluid to the fuel supply line via a fuel filter;
• the fuel filter which is configured to receive fuel from the fuel pump and provide filtered fuel to the fuel supply line, the fuel filter disposed in a filter housing, the filter housing including
• a filter chamber, the fuel filter being disposed in the filter chamber,
• a fuel inlet that communicates with the filter chamber and directs fuel received from the fuel pump into the filter chamber,
• a fuel outlet that communicates with the filter chamber and directs filtered fuel received from the fuel filter to the fuel supply line, and
• a bypass outlet that communicates with the filter chamber, the bypass outlet directing fuel not drawn into the fuel filter by the internal combustion engine to a fuel pressure regulator;
• and
• the fuel pressure regulator which is configured to receive fuel from the bypass outlet and return the fuel received from the bypass outlet to the fuel tank.
