Abstract
An add-on electric fuel pump having numerous advantageous features including an improved manner of replacing the seal at the shaft on the electric motor side of the pump, a versatile mounting bracket, and a fuel reservoir member having a plurality of chambers which permit internal bypassing of the fuel, thus avoiding a return line to the fuel tank. The fuel reservoir member is formed with a set of fuel chambers which cooperate with the pump to permit internal turbulent bypassing of the fuel, thus improving cooling and avoiding vapor lock.
