    Abstract: A fuel pump includes a pump part, a motor part, two brushes, two pigtails, and an urging member. Each pigtail is made of a linear conductive member and includes one end portion electrically and mechanically connected to its corresponding brush. The urging member includes one end engaged with a motor casing, and the other end pressing and urging each brush against a commutator from its other axial end face. A distance between an inclined surface of the brush and a sliding surface of the commutator in an axial direction of the brush becomes longer toward a rear side of the brush in a rotation direction of the commutator. A side surface of each brush and an inner wall of the motor casing, which defines two brush accommodating chambers, define a clearance therebetween. Each pigtail includes an extension portion extending from its one end portion toward the rear side in the rotation direction of the commutator.
