ABSTRACT:
A liquid fuel collecting and damming assembly located in a vehicle fuel tank to aid the intake of fuel to the engine by elevating the level of fuel about the fuel inlet particularly when the liquid level in the tank is relatively low. The assembly provides an open-ended cylindrical wall which is supported on the fuel tank bottom so that the inlet to the fuel line extends through the resultant open top so as to extend downward toward the bottom. A fuel return conduit extends through the collector assembly's wall and has an outlet end portion spaced vertically upward from the inlet portion so that fuel is discharged therethrough into the collector assembly and enters at an elevated level. The fuel supply in the collector assembly remains at the elevated level with respect to fuel in the tank at a low level condition due to the raised outlet portion of the return conduit.
