Abstract:
1. A fuel pump module for a vehicle having excellent filtering efficiency, comprising: a flange assembly positioned at a top portion of a fuel tank; a reservoir body assembly positioned at an inner bottom portion of the fuel tank; and a guide rod connecting the flange assembly and the reservoir body assembly to each other, wherein the reservoir body assembly includes: a fuel pump forcibly supplying fuel in the fuel tank to an engine; and a filter having a column shape having a hollow space in which the fuel pump is installed, the filter being inserted into a case forming an appearance of the reservoir body assembly so as to allow the fuel to pass through the filter before passing through the fuel pump, thereby filtering foreign materials included in the fuel, wherein the filter includes: an air gap forming body forming air gaps and provided in the hollow space; finishing materials each provided at an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the air gap forming body, thereby being closely adhered to the reservoir body assembly, and preventing the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the air gap forming body from being damaged; a packing provided between the finishing material at the upper end portion of the air gap forming body and the reservoir body assembly, or between the finishing material at the lower end portion of the air gap forming body and the reservoir body assembly, so that upper and lower end portions of the filter are closely adhered to the reservoir body assembly, and being formed to allow the fuel to pass only between the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the filter; and deformation preventing members connecting the finishing materials installed at the upper end portion and the lower end portion respectively and disposed at predetermined intervals.
