Abstract
A system for delivering fuel to an internal combustion engine wherein excess fuel from a fuel pump is diverted by a pressure regulator to supply low pressure fuel to power a jet pump. The low pressure created by the jet pump entrains fuel from the fuel tank and the combined flow is directed into a reservoir for inlet to the fuel pump.
