A fuel filter comprising a housing that delimits an internal volume in which a filtering element is removably disposed which separates the internal volume into an upstream zone communicating with an inlet of raw fuel and into a downstream zone communicating with an outlet of filtered fuel, said filtering element comprising a filtering medium which annularly extends about a longitudinal axis, between two axial ends, one of which consists of a flange for covering an axial face of the filtering medium, the filter further comprising: - a hollow internal space internally delimited by the filtering medium; - a plate interposed between the inlet and said flange of the filtering element, said plate comprising a first face delimiting together with the housing a first enclosure in communication with the inlet; - a heating device that extends into the first enclosure; - an axial discharge passageway passing through or opening through an opening of the flange to make the hollow internal space communicate with the outlet, the axial discharge passageway passing through the first enclosure; wherein the filtering medium extends into a second enclosure where fuel centrifugal filtration takes place, from a peripheral annular region in the upstream zone to the hollow internal space; characterised in that the flange, which belongs to the filtering element by being housed in the internal volume of the housing, and the plate axially delimit a compartment therebetween, which is intermediate between the first enclosure and the second enclosure and which is supplied with raw fuel from the first enclosure by an axial supply passageway radially offset on a determined side with respect to the axial discharge passageway; and in that there is provided at least one projecting partition wall (7; 57) that axially projects with respect to the plate in the first enclosure by allowing partitioning the first enclosure and guiding and/or forcing a flow of raw fuel to one or more heating elements of the heating device, said at least one projecting partition wall (7; 57) being formed by and/or placed in an active partitioning position from a non-partitioning position by one or more projecting members belonging to the filtering element, the projecting member(s) preferably making up the at least one partition wall by axially passing through the plate. - a hollow internal space internally delimited by the filtering medium; - a plate interposed between the inlet and said flange of the filtering element, said plate comprising a first face delimiting together with the housing a first enclosure in communication with the inlet; - a heating device that extends into the first enclosure; - an axial discharge passageway passing through or opening through an opening of the flange to make the hollow internal space communicate with the outlet, the axial discharge passageway passing through the first enclosure; wherein the filtering medium extends into a second enclosure where fuel centrifugal filtration takes place, from a peripheral annular region in the upstream zone to the hollow internal space; characterised in that the flange, which belongs to the filtering element by being housed in the internal volume of the housing, and the plate axially delimit a compartment therebetween, which is intermediate between the first enclosure and the second enclosure and which is supplied with raw fuel from the first enclosure by an axial supply passageway radially offset on a determined side with respect to the axial discharge passageway; and in that there is provided at least one projecting partition wall (7; 57) that axially projects with respect to the plate in the first enclosure by allowing partitioning the first enclosure and guiding and/or forcing a flow of raw fuel to one or more heating elements of the heating device, said at least one projecting partition wall (7; 57) being formed by and/or placed in an active partitioning position from a non-partitioning position by one or more projecting members belonging to the filtering element, the projecting member(s) preferably making up the at least one partition wall by axially passing through the plate.
