Abstract
A fuel supply system is installed inside a fuel tank as part of a cover closing an opening of the fuel tank. The fuel filter is integrally fixed to the cover and a fuel pump is mounted via the fuel filter. The fuel filter is in the shape of a partial annulus disposed in a certain angular range. Such system parts as a pressure regulator, an electric connector, a fuel level gauge and a fuel pipe are contained in the remaining angular range of the fuel pump periphery where the fuel filter is not disposed.
