An aircraft fuel system has a fuel tank for containing liquid fuel, the fuel tank having a base. The aircraft fuel system also has a fuel pump for drawing liquid fuel from the fuel tank, a fuel conduit having a fuel outlet through which fuel is permitted to flow from the fuel tank, and a filter defining a filtered fuel space enclosing the fuel outlet. The fuel conduit extends between the fuel outlet and the fuel pump, and the filter extends from the base to enclose the fuel outlet. The fuel conduit extends into the filtered space and the fuel outlet faces and is spaced from the base. This helps to minimise the quantity of unusable fuel in the aircraft fuel system. The present application also relates to an aircraft wing having an aircraft fuel system, and an aircraft having an aircraft fuel system.
