A cyclone cartridge (370) is disposed in the cyclone housing (260), and has a plurality of conically shaped fluid cyclones (380), each having a small opening at a lower end and larger opening at an upper end, a fluid inlet into said cyclone housing (370) and for passage through said cyclone cartridge (370). A diffuser plate (510) sealingly connected to said cyclone cartridge (370) and housing (260), said diffuser plate (510) including diffuser tubes (520) extending downwardly into an upper open portion of one of said fluid cyclones (380), and a central upwardly extending diverter cone for directing fluid up and away from said diffuser plate (510). The sediment bowl (110) includes a sump (120) which is inclined relative to a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the multi-cyclone sediment filter (100), and a discharge port (180) is located at or near a lowermost region of said sump.
