The surface of the inner conical surface 19 is concave to form a curved shape. The inner conical surface 19 extends into the main cylinder 5 and is close to the adjacent perforated support member 21.

[0029] Through the implementation of the above technical solution, the fuel filter assembly uses multiple layers of filter paper 20 to filter impurities in the fuel, forming a multi-stage filtration effect. When the fuel enters the fuel filter assembly, it can be dispersed into the fuel through multiple diversion holes 17, resulting in a better diffusion effect and thus improving the filtration effect. The inlet cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the main cylinder 5, which facilitates disassembly and easy removal and replacement of the hollow support 21 and filter paper 20 set in the main cylinder 5. When the fuel enters the inlet cylinder 2, it first impacts the outer conical surface 18 to form a primary dispersion, then enters through multiple diversion holes 17 to form a secondary dispersion, and finally impacts the inner conical surface 19 to form a tertiary diffusion, ultimately improving the diffusion effect when the fuel enters.
