Abstract: A drain for a fuel-water separator (FWS) bowl is disclosed. The drain may include a valve element configured to float in a first fluid and not in a second fluid, wherein the valve element is in a valve element chamber of the drain, wherein the valve element chamber includes an opening configured to drain the first fluid from the valve element chamber, and wherein the valve element seals the opening when the drain is in an open position and when the first fluid has been drained from the valve element chamber; and a member configured to unseal the valve element from the opening when the drain is in a closed position.

Abstract: An air cleaner may include a container body having a first end and a second end and defining an air flow chamber and a dust flow chamber each defining separate internal cavities within the container body. The air cleaner may also include an intake arranged at the first end of the container body and comprising a wall system for receiving air from outside the container body through an inlet in the side of the container body. The intake may include a dust flow path in fluid communication with and in general alignment with the inlet and extending from the inlet to a dust opening leading to the dust flow chamber. The intake may also include an airflow path abruptly and angularly diverging from the dust flow path at a point downstream of the inlet and extending from the dust flow path to an air opening leading to the air flow chamber.
