A fuel pump assembly having a vapor by-pass port communicating a pump chamber with the interior of a fuel tank, which comprises a vapor introducing passage for introducing the vapor-mixed fuel discharged through the vapor by-pass port, a vapor discharge port communicating with the midway of the vapor introducing passage and opening to the interior of the fuel tank, and a bag-like closed space formed on a rear half portion of the vapor introducing passage. The vapor discharge noise is effectively reduced with the construction.

Fuel pump assembly having reduced vapor discharge noise

A fuel pump having a first pumping mechanism for pumping a fuel in a main tank to a subtank and having a second pumping mechanism for pumping the fuel in the subtank to an outside of the main tank. The fuel pump includes a rotatable impeller having a plurality of outer peripheral vanes, and a wall member surrounding the vanes so as to define a fuel flow passage. The wall member has two partition walls for partitioning the fuel flow passage into a first pumping passage and a second pumping passage, a first suction hole for communicating an upstream end of the first pumping passage to the main tank, a first discharge hole for communicating a downstream end of the first pumping passage to the subtank, a second suction hole for communicating an upstream end of the second pumping passage to the subtank, and a second discharge hole for communicating a downstream end of the second pumping passage out of the main tank.

Fuel pump

A motor-driven fuel pump including a motor section provided with a driving motor, and a pump section arranged below the motor section and provided with an impeller to be driven by the driving motor. A plurality of pressure compensation hollows are formed on opposite surfaces of a sealing portion of the impeller, and a plurality of communication holes are formed through the sealing portion for communicating the pressure compensation hollows. In another aspect, a plurality of pressure compensation passages are provided to be communicated to a higher pressure side of either a pump chamber defined around outer peripheral vanes of the impeller and a fuel well for receiving a fuel leaked along a sealing portion of the impeller.

Motor-driven fuel pump

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the armature of the motor is rotatably fitted through the bearings provided at both ends of its rotary shaft. A rotor is rotatably mounted through a fixed shaft arranged differently from the rotary shaft to form a pump means. The rotary shaft and the rotor are connected by a connector means in such a manner that the radial displacement of both axes of the rotary shaft and the rotor can be absorbed by the connector. In the second embodiment of the present invention, a pump housing of a pump means is adapted partly to serve as a part of the casing of the electrically powered pump. An inlet of the pumped liquid is formed in the pump housing and a union is integrally formed with the casing. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the armature of the motor is rotatably fitted through the bearings provided at both ends of its rotary shaft. At least two stages of impellers are rotatably mounted to the fixed shaft arranged in axially alignment with the rotary shaft to form a pump means. The rotary shaft and the impellers are connected by a connector means in such a manner that the relative motion in a circumferential direction of the rotary shaft and the impellers is restricted.
