A fuel cell system arranged to supply electric power to an actuator via an electric power circuit includes an anode and a cathode. A hydrogen delivery system is arranged to supply pressurized hydrogen to the anode, and has a jet pump including an injector nozzle and an ejector. The jet pump channels pressurized hydrogen from a hydrogen tank to the fuel cell. The ejector includes a venturi tube, a mixing chamber, and a secondary flow element, wherein the secondary flow element includes a first duct and a bypass duct. The venturi tube has a first fluidic inlet that is proximal to the injector nozzle, and a second fluidic inlet that is downstream from the injector nozzle of the venturi tube. The first duct is fluidly coupled to the first fluidic inlet, and the bypass duct is fluidly coupled to the second fluidic inlet of the venturi tube.
