The invention discloses a diesel 
filter system with a design-optimized low-pressure oil way. The 
system comprises a filter, a filter base, a filter screen, a starting pump and a one-way valve 
assembly, wherein the filter base is provided with a cavity; the starting pump is sleeved in the filter screen which is sleeved in the cavity of the filter base; the one-way valve 
assembly is arranged on thefilter base; and when the starting pump is activated or stops working, the one-way valve 
assembly controls the on state of an oil way between the filter and the filter base. The 
system realizes formation of a device having a function of automatically emptying the low pressure oil way by mounting the starting pump, the filter screen and the like in the filter base, so that the structure of the traditional filter base with a hand 
oil pump is replaced; therefore, the same mounting dimension during the design of a 
diesel engine and the interchangeability with the traditional diesel filter are ensured. Besides, 
fuel oil is prevented from forming an 
internal loop in the startup state of the 
system, and a 
fuel oil system is guaranteed to obtain predetermined 
fuel oil pressure and emptying efficiency. Moreover, the diesel 
filter system meets the mounting requirements of different engines, and is good in universality.
