ABSTRACT:
A fuel pump module assembly includes a fuel pump10having an inlet16and an outlet17. The fuel pump10is constructed and arranged to send fuel from the outlet to an engine of a vehicle. The fuel pump has a vapor purge port13therein constructed and arranged to permit fuel vapor to exit the fuel pump generally downwardly. A pump filter14is disposed below the vapor purge port13and is associated with the inlet16of the fuel pump. The pump filter is constructed and arranged to filter fuel prior to entering the inlet. A vapor deflector18is associated with the vapor purge port13and is constructed and arranged to deflect vapor, which exits the vapor purge port, so as to continue to move generally downwardly but away from the pump filter.
