ABSTRACT:
A fuel supplying apparatus comprising a fuel pump4disposed within a fuel tank1for pumping fuel to an injector, a pressure regulator6for discharging an excess amount of fuel out of the fuel from the fuel pump4into the fuel tank1as an excess fuel, a fuel filter5disposed within a flow path connected between the fuel pump4and the pressure regulator6upstream of the pressure regulator6and having a filter element12accommodated within an electrically insulating housing13for filtering the fuel discharged from said fuel pump4, characterized by a grounding device comprising an electrically conductive protector24or an electrically conductive member25for providing an earth to the filter element12, whereby an electrostatic electricity generated while the fuel is passing through the filter element can be ensured to be dissipated, allowing a stable fuel supply.
