Default Anyone know this fuel filter?

A vortex is made in the bowl that helps seperate the water from the

concept......

Well, almost....

A spin component in the fuel passing through a filter helps separate
heavier components, like water and dirt. The faster the flow rate,
the faster the spin.
That means the dwell time in the filter is SHORTER but more effective
for faster flow.
