An assembly includes a mounting flange, support, carrier, reservoir and fuel pump. The mounting flange has a fluid passage extending through the mounting flange. The support is coupled to the mounting flange, and the carrier is coupled to the support with the weight of the carrier acting in compression on the support. The reservoir is carried by at least one of the carrier and the mounting flange with the weight of the reservoir acting on the carrier and/or the mounting flange, and the reservoir defining an interior. The fuel pump is carried by at least one of the carrier and the reservoir, the fuel pump has an inlet received within the reservoir interior and an outlet from which pressurized fuel is discharged from the fuel pump when the fuel pump is operating. The support defines at least part of a passage that is communicated with a fluid source.

A fuel supply device includes: a sub-tank to be fixed on a bottom of a fuel tank, the sub-tank temporarily storing fuel in the fuel tank, an upper side of the sub-tank having an opening; a bracket attached to an opening side of the sub-tank; an electric pump that pumps up the fuel in the sub-tank and supplies the fuel to outside of the sub-tank; and multiple fitting portions arranged on an outer edge of the bracket and to fix the bracket to the sub-tank by being fitted to a plurality of receiving portions arranged on the opening of the sub-tank.

A pump assembly for a fluid tank extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a cover at an external end, the cover including a flange that extends radially outward of the longitudinal axis, an insertable end opposite the external end along the longitudinal axis, and a rotatable arm that is flexible such that, when the rotatable arm is resiliently bent such that the rotatable arm has a radial extent, from the longitudinal axis, that is less than the flange, the sender assembly is in a compact state in which the insertable end and the flange would be able to move straight along the longitudinal axis, which is coaxial with a center axis of an opening of the fluid tank, from a position where the insertable end initially enters the opening to a position where the flange engages the fluid tank.

A fuel-conveying system includes: a primary fuel pump, configured to supply fuel to an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, at a fuel pressure; a suction jet pump configured to convey fuel from a first region of a fuel tank of the vehicle to a second region of the fuel tank, the at least one suction jet pump having a nozzle; and a secondary fuel pump, decoupled from the primary fuel pump and configured to: supply, as required, the suction jet pump with a fuel jet, and set, independently of the primary fuel pump, a pressure of the fuel jet before the nozzle of the suction jet pump.

A fuel supply system for an aircraft includes a fuel tank configured to supply fuel to an engine of an aircraft, a boost pump in operational communication with the fuel tank, wherein the boost pump is configured to control at least one of a fuel level and a fuel pressure in the fuel tank, and an electronic controller in communication with the boost pump and configured to control the boost pump. The electronic controller is configured to receive received information including (i) fuel information, (ii) flight information, and (iii) aircraft information, and configured to control the boost pump based on the received information.

A portable pump and fuel containment system includes a portable base assembly including a lower support and wheels, a container on the lower support including an interior volume and inlet and outlet ports in fluid communication with the interior volume, and a liquid transfer assembly coupled to the portable base assembly. The liquid transfer assembly includes a pump, a three-way control valve, a flexible transfer line having a first transfer line segment coupled to a first inlet of the three-way control valve and a second transfer line segment extending from the outlet port to a second inlet of the three-way control valve, and a flexible return line having a first end coupled to the outlet of the pump and a second end detachably coupled to the inlet port of the container. An outlet of the three-way control valve is connected to an inlet of the pump.

A fuel pump module includes a fuel pump, a housing, a filter, a bracket, a lid, a fuel passage, and a pressure regulating valve. The fuel pump supplies a fuel in a fuel tank that defines an opening to an outside of the fuel tank. The housing has a cylindrical shape and supports the fuel pump. The bracket connects the filter to the housing. The lid covers the opening and defines a discharge port through which the fuel is supplied to the outside. The fuel passage connects the fuel pump to the discharge port. The pressure regulating valve has a gravity center inside a space defined by a first virtual cylindrical surface including the housing. A minimum circumscribed circle of both the housing and the filter is smaller than the opening.

A siphoning assembly for a fuel supply system comprises an adaptor body with a pressurized fuel inlet, a suction inlet and an outlet and an outlet passageway connecting the pressurized fuel inlet and the suction inlet to the outlet. A venturi nozzle extends in-line with the pressurized fuel inlet and opens into a suction chamber to create a pressure drop for pulling in fuel from the suction inlet which also opens into the suction chamber. The outlet passageway forming a liquid trap between the suction chamber and the outlet. The siphoning assembly may include a pressure relief valve connected to the pressurized fuel inlet formed as a bypass line of the pressurized fuel supply line. The siphoning assembly may be used in conjunction with an apparatus for modifying a fuel tank to add a fuel pump and baffle assembly which may include one-way check valves.

A fuel supply device includes a fuel pump, a pump case, a cap, an O-ring, and a connection assembly. The pump case includes a case main body configured to receive the fuel pump and a discharge port connector. The cap includes a suction port connector. The O-ring is interposed between a fuel discharge port of the fuel pump and discharge port connector. The connection assembly includes a plurality of engagement projections and a plurality of engagement pieces configured to mate and engage with the engagement projections. The fuel discharge port of the fuel pump is configured to reach the O-ring coupled to the discharge port connector of the pump case simultaneous with the engagement between the engagement projections and the engagement pieces when the fuel suction port of the fuel pump and the suction port connector of the cap are connected together.

A fuel tank cover (150) is provided with a flange unit (22) closing an opening of a fuel tank, and a joint member (24) configured to be connected to the flange unit (22) movably in the upward/downward direction. The flange unit (22) includes a side tubular portion (43) extending in the upward/downward direction. The joint member (24) includes a columnar portion (160) extending in the upward/downward direction. The columnar portion (160) is inserted into the side tubular portion (43) movably in the upward/downward direction. A metal retainer (162) is provided to cover an outer circumferential surface of the columnar portion (160).
