ABSTRACT:
A fuel pump has a motor mounted within a housing with a shaft extending therefrom to which a helically shaped impeller is fitted for pumping fuel from a fuel tank to an automotive engine. An end section of the housing has an inlet leading from the fuel tank to a pre-swirl fuel channel or trough located at the radially outermost perimeter of an impeller mating face on the end section. The trough has an inlet ramp which routes fuel to an inclined section with an axial grade to force the fuel to flow in the direction of impeller rotation. A trough termination ramp between the inclined section and the inlet ramps fuel toward the impeller at a steeper grade than the inclined section such that the fuel trough becomes flush with the impeller mating face. Fuel can thus be picked-up by the impeller throughout at least 340.degree. of rotation.
