What happens to all the carbon dioxide in a spacesuit?

The air in a spacesuit is constantly circulated. The suit air is passed through a type of absorbent filter that absorbs carbon dioxide called a scrubber. This clean air is returned to the spacesuit, usually with the addition of a little fresh oxygen. In addition to having a limited supply of oxygen, the astronaut must also estimate how much carbon dioxide the filter has absorbed. It has a limited capacity, and once it is maxed-out, it can no longer remover carbon dioxide. When the astronaut is back aboard the spacecraft or space station, they will resupply the oxygen and put in a fresh carbon dioxide scrubber.

Is a fuel filter the same as an oil filter?

No. Fuel filters filter out particles of rust, dirt, and so on that can get into gasoline from the air, rusting of metal tanks fuel is stored in, including your car gas tank. All cars these days have fuel injection, and fuel injectors have tiny nozzles that can be clogged or damaged by contaminants, so having a fuel filter is more important than ever. An oil filter filters out particles that are made by burning gasoline, such as carbon. Carbon is black, and that is the main reason why engine oil gets darker as it is used, because more carbon gets in it. These particles are abrasive and filtering them out prevents excessive engine wear.
