Abstract
A fuel supply system includes a fuel pump and a housing that are disposed within a fuel tank . A damping material is disposed on an upper end portion of a sidewall of the housing . The damping material reduces the transmission of vibrations generated by the fuel pump from to the fuel tank to thereby prevent the fuel tank from vibrating. The damping material may include an elastic material having a specific gravity of 0.12 to 0.4. Alternatively, the damping material may include a fuel-resistant paper material.
