Abstract

A fuel delivery module is located inside a fuel tank and supplies fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. An in-tank suction fluid filter has a filter body made of combination material layers with porous material and filtration material. An in-tank suction fuel filter functions to filter the fuel and holds a reservoir of fuel for supplying to the fuel pump. The in-tank suction fuel filter acts as the reservoir cavity needed to have a constant supply of filtered fuel available to the fuel pump. The in-tank suction fuel filter has a freeform body that can move upward or downward with thermal expansion of the fuel while maintaining constant contact with the bottom of the fuel tank.
