Abstract

In a fuel filter disposed in a fuel tank for automobiles, a filter cloth is prevented from being damaged or broken so as to maintain the filtering property stably for a long period of time. The fuel filter disposed in a fuel tank for automobiles has a frame body for swelling the filter cloth wherein outer surfaces of the frame body arc gently at the portion where the frame body contacts the filter cloth, whereby the filter cloth is prevented from being damaged or broken even if the filter cloth repeatedly contacts the frame body.
