A second sealing ring (54) is arranged on the rear end surface of the oil filter block (51). The fuel filter element (52) is arranged in the oil inlet passage (2) in an axially movable manner. A clearance is arranged between the fuel filter element (52) and the inner peripheral wall of the oil inlet passage (2). The second spring (53) is connected to the valve body (1) at its rear end, and connected to the fuel filter element (52) at its front end. The second spring (53) is used to move the fuel filter element (52) toward the oil filter block (51). When the fuel filter element (52) squeezes the second sealing ring (54) of the oil filter block (51), the fuel filter element (52) filters the fuel in the oil inlet channel (2). When the fuel filter element (52) moves away from the oil filter block (51), the fuel in the oil inlet channel (2) flows out from the rear end of the oil channel through the oil gap (55).

7. The aviation fuel valve according to claim 6, characterized in that: A second annular groove (511) is provided on the rear end surface of the oil filter block (51), and the second sealing ring (54) is arranged in the second annular groove (511); a third annular groove (512) is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the oil filter block (51), and a third sealing ring (56) is arranged in the third annular groove (512), and the third sealing ring (56) is in sealing cooperation with the inner peripheral wall of the oil inlet passage (2).

8. The aviation fuel valve according to claim 6, characterized in that: The fuel filter element (52) comprises a support ring (521) and a filter screen (522); the front end of the support ring (521) is used to abut against the second sealing ring (54), and the rear end of the support ring (521) is detachably connected to the filter screen (522); the outer diameter of the support ring (521) is smaller than the inner diameter of the oil inlet channel (2), and the outer diameter of the support ring (521) is larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing ring (54).

9. The aviation fuel valve according to claim 8, characterized in that: The filter screen (522) has a conical structure, and the large end of the filter screen (522) is plugged into the support ring (521).

10. The aviation fuel valve according to claim 6, characterized in that: A retaining spring (21) is provided at the front end of the oil inlet passage (2), and the retaining spring (21) abuts against the oil filter pressure block (51); an annular step (22) is provided at the rear end of the oil inlet passage (2), and the annular step (22) abuts against the second spring (53).
