Abstract
A fuel supply pump includes a pressurizing chamber, a high-pressure path, and a valve unit. The valve unit includes an outlet valve which is configured to open to allow fuel in the pressurizing chamber to flow to the high-pressure path when fuel pressure in the pressurizing chamber becomes higher than a first predetermined pressure. The valve unit also includes a pressure relief valve which is configured to open to allow fuel in the high-pressure path to return to the pressurizing chamber when fuel pressure in the high-pressure path becomes higher than a second predetermined pressure. The valve unit also includes a valve seat member in which a relief path and a plurality of outlet paths are formed, wherein a first end of the relief path opens on a relief valve seat for the pressure relief valve, and respective first ends of the plurality of outlet paths open on an outlet valve seat for the outlet valve.
