Abstract

A fuel-feeding device may include a fuel tank storing fuel therein, a fuel pump configured to feed the fuel in the fuel tank to an engine through a fuel-feeding conduit, an aspirator configured to generate a negative pressure therein using a flow of the fuel flowing through a branched conduit branched from the fuel-feeding conduit, a negative pressure sensor configured to detect the negative pressure generated by the aspirator, and a control device configured to control a revolution speed of the fuel pump. The control device is configured to determine a sign of vapor generation in the fuel stored in the fuel tank based on detection information of the negative pressure sensor.
