Fuel passes through a fuel filter from the outer layer of the fuel filter
toward the inner layer of the fuel filter. Large debris is arrested in
the outer layer made of nonwoven fabric, and small debris is arrested in
the inner layer made of filter paper, so that plugging is prevented. The
fuel filter is inserted between a fuel pump and a sub-tank. The fuel pump
is supported by the fuel filter via both a suction pipe and a fixing
section. Vibration generated in the fuel pump is absorbed by the fuel
filter which has sufficient thickness, so that the vibration is not
transferred to the sub-tank. Thus, filtering performance and lifespan of
the fuel filter are easily secured while decreasing vibration transfer.
