摘要： A heated fuel filter assembly (5), particularly for use with engines operating using plant oil as a fuel. A filter housing (42) is connected to a filter head (39). A cylindrical filter screen (43) within the housing, separates the interior of the housing into internal (44) and external (45) portions. An inlet fuel conduit (40) communicates with the internal portion, and an outlet fuel conduit communicates with the external portion. An elongate heating member (46) projects axially into the internal portion so as to heat fuel within the filter assembly. The heating member may be a hollow member through which engine coolant circulates.
