Abstract: A fuel pump module within a fuel tank employs at least one fuel pump, while in the case of additional fuel pumps, a manifold receives all pumped fuel and directs it into a surrounding fuel filter within a filter case. A check valve is adjacent the filter case at a first location and a pressure regulator is adjacent the check valve. With the check valve located between the filter case and the pressure regulator, high fuel pressures may be maintained in the engine supply line when the engine is shut off, while during engine operation the pressure regulator may relieve excessive fuel pressure and deliver fuel to the engine through an engine supply line. A jet pump supply line exits the filter case at a second case location and supplies fuel to one or more jet pumps, such as a fuel pump module reservoir jet pump.

Abstract: A pump module, which is mounted to a fuel tank, includes a sub-tank, a fuel pump and an elastic member. The sub-tank is accommodated in the fuel tank. The fuel pump is accommodated in the sub-tank to pump fuel drawn into the sub-tank. The elastic member is formed of an elastomer, and is interposed between a bottom portion of the sub-tank and a bottom portion of the fuel tank. The elastic member makes contact with fuel. The elastic member internally has spaces to release stress that arises in the elastic member due to swelling caused by contacting with fuel. The elastic member is formed in a sheet. The elastic member is mounted to the sub-tank via an outer periphery of the elastic member. The spaces are arranged in a substantially circumferential direction of the sub-tank, or are arranged in a substantially radial direction of the sub-tank.

Abstract: A fuel pump module has a fuel pump with an outlet located within a fuel reservoir, a fuel filter casing within which a fuel filter receives fuel from the fuel pump fuel outlet. A fuel discharge housing attaches to the fuel filter casing such that fuel passing from the filter and into the discharge casing then discharges from either a casing fuel outlet or a bleed orifice. The casing fuel outlet leads to the engine while the bleed orifice discharges fuel into a sump formed into the reservoir's bottom wall under the bleed orifice. The sump retains a quantity of fuel so that during low fuel levels within the reservoir, when the engine is off, the fuel filter maintains its prime condition from fuel in the sump to lessen the filter prime time during engine starting. Selective placement of fuel valves also decreases fuel system prime times.
