ABSTRACT:
A bottom wall of a fuel tank body defines an inwardly extending projection which separates at least a lower segment of an interior of the fuel tank body into a first fuel chamber and a second fuel chamber. Fuel is pumped out of the first fuel chamber. A portion of the fuel pumped out of the first fuel chamber is returned to the first fuel chamber by way of an ejector pump disposed within the fuel tank body. The ejector pump is driven by the return fuel. A communication pipe connects the second fuel chamber to the ejector pump. The ejector pump transports fuel from the second fuel chamber to the first fuel chamber via the communication pipe.
