Abstract

A fuel transfer and conditioning unit for an automotive vehicle includes a reservoir with a generally cylindrical filter element and a pump module contained within the reservoir and extending within the filter element. A combination valve prevents forward flow of fuel through the pump module unless the filter element is installed within the reservoir and also prevents reverse flow of fuel from the engine in the event the filter element is removed for maintenance.
