Straddled vehicle

A straddled vehicle having an engine unit supported by a vehicle body frame. The engine unit includes an engine body, a turbocharger, and an exhaust device. The exhaust device includes an exhaust pipe and a muffler that are connected to each other to form a portion of an exhaust passage, to allow the exhaust gas passed through the turbocharger to pass therethrough, and a first catalyst and a second catalyst that are arranged in this order along a direction in which the exhaust gas flows through the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe has an upstream end thereof connected to the turbocharger, a downstream end thereof connected to the muffler, and a corner section that is bent in at least a part thereof between a downstream end of the first catalyst and an upstream end of the second catalyst, the catalysts not being arranged in the corner section.

Sucking jet pump arrangement

A sucking jet pump arrangement, with a sucking jet pump comprising a primary fluid inlet for feeding a fuel driving stream to the sucking jet pump, a secondary fluid inlet for feeding the sucking jet pump with the fuel to be delivered, a fluid outlet for outputting the fuel, and a collection container surrounding a first end of the sucking jet pump opposite of the fluid outlet. The container preferably surrounds the primary fluid inlet from at least three sides such that the sucking jet pump sucks fuel via the secondary fluid inlet out of the inner volume of the collection container. The collection container has at least one fuel inlet opening for feeding fuel from the outside to the inner volume of the collection container.

Fuel tank assembly having crossover tube

A fuel tank assembly includes a primary fuel tank, a secondary fuel tank, a crossover tube, a fuel pump, a transfer tube, and a jet pump. The crossover tube is fluidly coupled with each of the primary fuel tank and the secondary fuel tank and defines a flow path for fuel to flow between the primary fuel tank and the secondary fuel. The fuel pump is disposed within the primary fuel tank and is configured to selectively supply fuel from the primary fuel tank to an engine. The transfer tube is routed internal to the crossover tube and is in fluid communication with each of the primary fuel tank and the secondary fuel tank. The jet pump is in fluid communication with the transfer tube and is configured to facilitate the flow of pressurized fuel from the secondary fuel tank, through the transfer tube, and into the primary fuel tank.

A fuel pump module for a fuel tank prevents electrification of a filter within the fuel pump module. A port injection filter is housed in a filter case that is separate from a pump case that houses a port injection fuel pump. A ground bracket housed in the filter case includes a cylinder part, a first connection part, and a second connection part, which are formed as a single body and made of conductive resin. The cylinder part is disposed inside of the port injection filter. The second connection part is disposed on an opposite side of the bracket relative to the first connection part, where the first connection part is connected with the cylinder part, for the connection to the ground through a ground line. As a result, a static electricity caused by friction of fuel flowing through the filter is discharged to the ground.

Fuel-conveying system for use in a vehicle

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.

Liquid trap with integral jet pump

An assembly is provided that integrates a jet pump with a liquid trap to drain liquid fuel from vapor flow, such as vapor vented from a fuel tank. The assembly includes a housing that has a liquid trap configured to trap liquid carried in vapor flowing through the housing. A jet pump has a venturi nozzle and is in selective fluid communication with the liquid trap so that liquid flow through the venturi nozzle induces draining of the liquid trap.

A swirling wall structure-extends from a lower side toward an upper side in a sub-tank, and a fuel flow, which is outputted into an inside of the sub-tank from a flow outlet of a diffuser passage opened toward a lateral side, is swirled by the swirling wall structure. The swirling wall structure-includes a curved wall surface and a U-turn wall surface. The curved wall surface is curved about a longitudinal axis, which extends from the lower side toward the upper side in the sub-tank, to bend the fuel flow outputted from the flow outlet. The U-turn wall surface extends continuously from the curved wall surface to make a U-turn of the fuel flow, which is bent by the curved wall surface.

The invention relates to a tank assembly (5) having a tank container (10), a swirl pot (20) and an eductor pump (30), wherein a nozzle (32) of the eductor pump (30) is arranged on an upper side (16) of the tank container (10) at a distance above a swirl pot opening (22) of the swirl pot (20).

Fuel supply device

A fuel supply device, which is mounted on a fuel tank, includes a lid member that covers an opening of the fuel tank, arm members mounted on the lid member, and a component mounted on the lid member via the arm members. The arm members and the component have an engaging structure which engages each other by elastic deformation of the arm members. The arm members are made of a resin material having a higher elastic modulus than the resin material forming the lid member.
