1. A fuel pump module configured to supply fuel from a fuel tank to an internal-combustion engine, the fuel pump module comprising: a first suction filter configured to remove foreign substance from fuel in the fuel tank; a first pump configured to discharge fuel that has passed through the first suction filter into a combustion chamber of the internal-combustion engine; a first filter configured to remove foreign substance from fuel that is discharged from the first pump; a first supply port disposed at a position configured to be between the first filter and the combustion chamber and configured to allow fuel that has passed through the first filter to flow therethrough; a second suction filter configured to remove foreign substance from fuel in the fuel tank separately from the first suction filter; a second pump configured to discharge fuel that has passed through the second suction filter into an air-intake system of the internal-combustion engine; a second filter configured to remove foreign substance from fuel that is discharged from the second pump; a second supply port disposed at a position configured to be between the second filter and the air-intake system and configured to allow fuel that has passed through the second filter to flow therethrough; a housing that houses one of the first pump and the second pump; a support part formed on the housing and supporting an other of the first pump and the second pump; a bracket engaged with the housing at a position between (i) the first suction filter and the first pump or (ii) the second suction filter and the second pump, the bracket being configured to regulate a relative movement of the first pump or the second pump toward a center axis thereof relative to the housing; and an elastic member made of an elastic material, that abuts the bracket, and interposed between (i) the first pump and the bracket or (ii) the second pump and the bracket.
