See full text

A filter (10) with a filter element (36) are described. A housing (12) includes at least one fuel inlet, fuel outlet (18) and a water outlet (30) for water separated from the fuel. The filter element (36) within the housing separates the fuel inlet (26) from the fuel outlet (18). The filter element (36) includes a hollow body filter medium (38) flowed through radially. A water separation unit (56) with a hollow body hydrophobic fuel-permeable separating medium (66) separates water contained in the fuel and includes at least one support structure disposed in the flow path (78) in such a way that a precipitation gap (74) is realized between the filter medium (38) and the separating medium (66). The precipitation gap (74) is connected with the water outlet (30).
