ABSTRACT:
In association with a vehicle engine, a fuel system including a fuel tank with an inlet pickup for discharging fuel from the tank, pump means to transport fuel from the tank pickup to the engine in a quantity normally in excess of the quantity needed for engine operation at normal operating speeds, and means to return excess fuel back to the tank into a relatively small volume reservoir device surrounding the fuel pickup which enhances the fuel level about the fuel pickup under conditions of low fuel level in the remainder of the tank. The excess fuel returned to the tank passes through a flow control device including a jet aspirator which is the means to enhance the reservoir fuel level and including alternate flow control means to maintain continuous flow into the reservoir whenever the jet aspirator is blocked.
