Patent ID: 8689827

Claim:
A fuel supply apparatus comprising: a flange that is configured to be installed to a fuel tank; a pump unit that is configured to be installed in an inside of the fuel tank to pump fuel received in the inside of the fuel tank to an outside of the fuel tank; only one support shaft that connects between the flange and the pump unit; and an intermediate member that connects between the support shaft and the pump unit, wherein: the intermediate member enables a relative positional change between the support shaft and the pump unit in an axial direction of the support shaft; the intermediate member limits a relative positional change between the support shaft and the pump unit in a circumferential direction of the support shaft; further comprising a holding member that holds the pump unit in the fuel tank, wherein the intermediate member includes at least one coupling portion, which is engaged with or formed integrally with the holding member and is thereby coupled to the holding member; wherein the intermediate member includes: a first bracket that receives the support shaft and includes the at least one coupling portion; and a second bracket that is connected to the support shaft in an inserted state, in which the second bracket is inserted into the support shaft such that relative rotation between the second bracket and the support shaft in the circumferential direction of the support shaft is limited.
