Abstract

A fuel supply assembly includes a reservoir, primary and secondary fuel pumps and a pressure regulator. The secondary fuel pump has first and second inlets, and an outlet. The first inlet receives at least some fuel discharged from a pressure regulator outlet, a nozzle communicated with the first inlet so that a flow of fuel through the nozzle creates a drop in pressure in the area of the second fuel inlet to draw fuel from the supply of fuel through the second inlet and the fuel drawn in through the second fuel inlet is combined with the flow of fuel from the nozzle and the combined fuel flows are discharged from the secondary fuel pump outlet and into the reservoir. The primary fuel pump may be located outside of an interior of the reservoir and the secondary fuel pump may be connected to the reservoir by rigid or flexible conduits.
