Abstract:
A fuel supply module for supplying a fuel to an engine, comprising:a sub tank, a fuel supply pump disposed in the sub tank for supplying the fuel inside the sub tank to the engine, a filter connected to the fuel supply pump for filtering the fuel ejected therefrom, a pressure regulator connected to the filter for regulating pressure of the fuel ejected from the fuel supply pump, a jet pump disposed inside the sub tank for generating a negative pressure for sucking the fuel outside the sub tank into the sub tank, and a supporting bracket formed separately from the sub tank to be attached inside of the sub tank, said supporting bracket including a module accommodating section for supporting the fuel supply pump and the filter thereon, and a jet pump supply passage having a regulator accommodating section for receiving the pressure regulator therein and a nozzle inserting section to be inserted into the jet pump to partly transfer the fuel discharged from the fuel supply pump to the jet pump when the supporting bracket is attached to the sub tank so that the fuel supply pump, the filter and the pressure regulator assembled on the supporting bracket as a unit can be installed into the sub tank by inserting the unit into the sub tank.
