Abstract
There are provided a flange mounted in the upper opening of a fuel tank; a fuel pump that takes in a fuel in the fuel tank through a strainer, boosts the pressure of the fuel, and discharges the fuel; a high-pressure filter that filters a fuel that has been discharged from the fuel pump; and a pressure regulator that maintains within a predetermined range the pressure of a fuel that has been filtered by the high-pressure filter. At the bottom portion of the fuel pump including the vapor discharge outlet, there is provided a member that prevents a fuel in the fuel tank from flowing into the pump flow path where the pressure of the fuel is boosted, when pressure loss of the strainer increases.
