ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank includes fuel pipes which are configured to resist bubble disruption of the fuel pump, minimizing the risk of fuel running out when the tank level becomes low. The fuel tank includes a fuel tank body with a fuel feed conduit operatively attached thereto, for feeding fuel to a fuel injection system. The fuel feed conduit has a pickup inlet which opens into the fuel tank body, allowing fuel to be drawn outwardly by a fuel pump of the fuel injection system. The fuel tank also includes a fuel return conduit with a return port inside the fuel tank body, for returning unused fuel therethrough to the fuel tank body. The return port of the fuel return conduit is directed toward the pickup inlet of the fuel feed conduit. The fuel feed and return conduits may be fixed to the fuel tank body using a plate-shaped member.
