Abstract
A fuel filter assembly (10) comprising an electrically non-conductive housing (12) with a layer (28) of electrically conductive material extending from the distal end (22) of an inlet connector (20) to the distal end (26) of an outlet connector (24) for conducting electrical charges completely through the housing (12) from distal end (22) to distal end (26). The housing (12) is fabricated by first forming an inlet half of the housing (12) with an opening and forming an outlet half of the housing (12) with an opening. The conductive layer (28) is disposed separately over the interior of the respective housing halves. Thereafter, the respective openings of the housing halves are fused together with the housing material fused together and the conductive layers (28) of the respective halves in electrical contact.
