Abstract
A fuel supply apparatus includes a fuel pump, a filter element, and a passage element. The fuel pump is transversely arranged inside a fuel tank to discharge fuel sucked from a suction port. The filter element defines an inner space communicated with the suction port inside the fuel tank to filter the fuel. The passage element defines an inner passage inside the fuel tank to introduce the fuel from the inner space into the suction port through the inner passage. The suction port is located to be deviated toward one end of the filter element in a specific lateral direction. The inner passage is communicated with the inner space, and extends from the suction port toward a center of the filter element in the specific lateral direction.
