  • Patent number: 11905885
    Abstract: A fuel supply circuit including a supply duct in which a first flow (Fl) is able to circulate, at least one supply pump for circulating the fuel from a tank to a metering unit, and a recirculation duct for a second flow upstream of the pump, wherein the ducts (20, 60) discharge in different directions upstream of the pump; the circuit includes a dispensing device including an internal flow duct for the first flow (Fl), an external flow channel for the second flow and at least one passage orifice for the second flow, which communicates fluidically with the channel; and the at least one orifice (810) and the duct are coaxial and respectively discharge upstream of the pump.
