Abstract
An electrostatic charge removing apparatus in a fuel filter is capable of reliably removing electrostatic charge generated in a fuel filter and of reducing cost and weight of the fuel filter by escaping or discharging the electrostatic charge from parts of the fuel filter other than a case of the fuel filter. The fuel filter includes a filter portion that is connected to an outlet of a fuel pump disposed in a fuel tank and is clamped by end plates, a case housing the filter portion therein, wherein the end plates are formed of a conductive material, and a projection that penetrates a cap is formed on one end plate and is grounded.
