Abstract
A fuel tank is provided in the middle of its floor with a vessel from which the fuel is withdrawn by a fuel pump. A plurality of upright baffles are spaced radially apart around the vessel and have edges turned toward the vessel and received in reinforcing ribs of a filter carried over the vessel and formed as a downwardly open cup. A fuel-recirculating pipe directs a stream of fuel backwardly in the direction of travel against the forward face of the filter cup.
