Abstract
The fuel tank of a motorcycle or other similar vehicle contains an immersible fuel pump unit arranged to effectively pass fuel from the fuel tank regardless of reduced levels of fuel therein. Also, the fuel pump unit and other elements of the fuel supply system are organized to lower the center of gravity of the vehicle and to improve operation of the engine by more effectively exhausting air bubbles from the fuel flow stream and reducing the amount of heat capable of being transferred from the engine to the fuel supply pipe, thus to prevent expansion of any air bubbles that may migrate through the fuel supply pipe.
