ABSTRACT:
A vehicle fuel tank has a filter and a secondary reservoir disposed above the filter. An intank fuel pump is situated within the secondary reservoir and draws fuel from the interior of the filter. An inertia responsive valve controls fuel communication between the secondary reservoir and the interior of the filter. The valve opens when the vehicle undergoes acceleration to allow fuel in the secondary reservoir to enter the filter interior. The secondary reservoir is filled by a fuel return line from the vehicle engine.
