Abstract: A valve stem (48) is sized to mate with a filter housing (30) bore. The valve stem (48) has a first and second end (60) and a body (62). The first end (58) includes a threaded stem portion (64) configured to mate with a corresponding threaded filter portion. The second end (60) has a drain outlet (82) and includes a fitting (84) for a tube (86). The body (62) has an axial passage (90) disposed therethrough. The axial passage (90) has a divider (92) disposed axially along at least a portion thereof. The divider (92) separates the axial passage (90) into an outlet passage (94) (94) and a vent passage (96). The outlet passage (94) (94) is open at the first end (58), at the drain outlet (82) and at a first side passage (104). The vent passage (96) is closed at the first end (58), open at a second side passage (106), open at the drain outlet (82), and open at a vent side passage (100).

Abstract: A fluid level indicator (44) is provided for use with a fuel system (12). The fluid level indicator may have a generally hollow body (58) with an open first end (66) and a closed second end (68) configured to be mounted at least partially inside a filter canister (38). The fluid level indicator may also have an annular float (60) configured to receive and slide along the second end of the generally hollow body, and a plunger (62) located within an interior of the generally hollow body. At least one of the annular float and the plunger is magnetic and configured to interact with the other of the annular float and the plunger.
