Abstract
A fuel feed apparatus supplies fuel in a fuel tank to an outside of the fuel tank. The fuel feed apparatus includes a fuel pump that is accommodated in the fuel tank. The fuel pump pumps fuel in the fuel tank. The suction filter connects with an inlet of the fuel pump. The suction filter is arranged in a bottom portion of the fuel tank. The suction filter removes foreign matters contained in fuel drawn into the fuel pump. The holder engages with a lateral portion of the suction filter. The holder restricts the suction lifter from moving in a lateral direction of the suction filter.
