Abstract
A fuel filter includes: a filtration chamber consisting of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder disposed concentrically with a predetermined space, a bottom part that closes an opening end on one end side of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and a lid part disposed with a fuel suction pipe and a fuel sending pipe, that closes an opening end on the other end side of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder; and a filtering member that is accommodated in a filtration chamber and filtrates fuel that flows into the filtration chamber. In this filter, a centrifugal force applying member for centrifuging the fuel that flows into is disposed at the end of the filtering member on the lid part side. A groove portion extending along an inner wall face of the outer cylinder is formed on the bottom part.
