A cover end of a fuel pump is formed by resin molding and has a tubular portion, which holds a bearing that is placed along a central axis of the tubular portion and rotatably supports one end portion of a shaft of a motor arrangement. Furthermore, three terminals, which supply three-phase electric power received from an outside to windings on a phase-by-phase basis, are insert molded in the cover end. In the cover end, a first transverse passage, which is formed between the first terminal and the second terminal in a circumferential direction, and a second transverse passage, which is formed between the second terminal and the third terminal in the circumferential direction, are configured into a form of V-shape, which diverges in a radially outer direction, in a view taken in an axial direction.

A total dimension of spacing dimensions of a gap provided by a metal rod on a side opposite to a metal housing in a first assembling structure and a second assembling structure is set to be larger than a difference in a thermal expansion amount between a resin lid main body and the metal housing in a reference radial direction when a temperature exceeds a reference temperature. A total dimension of each of a spacing dimension of a gap provided by the metal rod on a side toward the metal housing and a spacing dimension between a resin protrusion and the metal housing in the first assembling structure and the second assembling structure is set to be larger than a difference in a thermal shrinkage amount between the resin lid main body and the metal housing in the reference radial direction when a temperature falls below the reference temperature.

To allow linking a fuel cock and an engine switch with a simple configuration and reducing residual fuel, a switch plate (link component) that links a fuel cock and an engine switch is provided. The switch plate includes: an extending portion (switch operation portion) pressed by a cam, which rotates integrally with the fuel cock, to switch off the engine switch when the fuel cock is further rotated beyond a position where the fuel cock is switched from ON to OFF; and a cam contact wall where the cam comes into contact to change rotational resistance of the fuel cock to allow providing a predetermined operation feeling when the fuel cock further rotates beyond the position where the fuel cock is switched from ON to OFF.

Partitioned chambers of an electric connector, which receive connection terminals electrically connected to windings of a stator, are communicated with an outside of the electric connector through primary communication holes. The primary communication holes are formed to direct at least one of perpendicular directions, each of which is perpendicular to a corresponding one of opening planes of outside openings of the primary communication holes, toward a downside when a central axis of a fuel pump is tilted relative to a vertical direction. In this way, a foreign object, which is accumulated in any of the portioned chambers, can be outputted to the outside through the primary communication hole even when the fuel pump is tilted in any direction.

A fluid delivery module includes a housing with a housing interior volume, the housing defining a first brush compartment and a second brush compartment within the housing interior volume; an inlet which introduces fluid into the housing interior volume; an outlet which discharges fluid from the housing interior volume; a fluid pump within the housing interior volume and having a pump section and a motor assembly which receives electric power through a first carbon brush and a second carbon brush such that the first carbon brush is received within a first carbon brush holder of the motor assembly and the second carbon brush is received within a second carbon brush holder of the motor assembly; and a filter within the housing interior volume which circumferentially surrounds the fluid pump. The first brush compartment encloses the first carbon brush holder and the second brush compartment encloses the second carbon brush holder.

A fuel chamber is formed between a pump arrangement and a motor arrangement, and outer flow passages are formed between a stator of the motor arrangement and a housing. Fuel, which is discharged from a discharge port of the pump arrangement, is outputted to an outside of the housing from a fuel discharge conduit that is formed on a side of the motor arrangement, which is opposite from the pump arrangement, after passing through the motor arrangement. At a time of performing electroplating on the stator, electrode contact portions, to which electrodes can contact, is formed in an outer wall of the stator, which forms the outer flow passages.

In at least some implementations, a retainer for a fuel system component having an electrically conductive portion accessible from the exterior of the component includes a retaining feature and a grounding feature. The retaining feature is adapted to maintain the location of the fuel system component and the grounding feature electrically couples a ground wire to the electrically conductive portion of the fuel system component. The fuel system component is grounded through a path including the grounding feature and ground wire.

A tank which has at least one at least partially electrically conductive container, an electric component arranged in the fuel tank, and a cover to close an opening for the electric component, the tank allowing grounding in a simple manner.

A fuel tank lid includes a lid part and a terminal. The lid part includes an inserted part inserted into an opening of a fuel tank, and a storage part storing a drive circuit. The terminal has a central portion covered by the inserted part and the storage part, a first end connected to a pump, and a second end connected to the drive circuit. The storage part includes a side wall that has a first opening and a second opening, an upper closure part that closes the first opening, and a lower closure part that closes the second opening. The fuel tank lid further includes a discharge structure positioned vertically lower than the upper closure part and discharging a fuel vapor that has travelled along an interface between the terminal and the lid part and entered a hollow space of the storage part, to an external atmosphere.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle fuel pump module. The vehicle fuel pump module is configured such that a controller is spaced apart from a plate body installed so as to be exposed out of a fuel tank by a support member and an air gap is provided between the plate body and the controller. Consequently, a gas generated from a fuel in the fuel tank is discharged to the atmosphere by an outdoor air circulating the air gap and thus it may be possible to prevent the gas from affecting electronic parts of the controller.
