ABSTRACT:
A fuel feed apparatus has a flange and a sub-tank detachable each other in its axial direction. A connector protrudes from the flange toward the sub-tank, and opposes to a space formed in the sub-tank. The connector is received in the space when the flange is mounted on the sub-tank. Therefore, the connector can be prevented from interference with a pump module eccentrically arranged in the sub-tank. The space is defined in the opposite side of the fuel pump, so that the inner space of the sub-tank is widely secured and efficiently used. Thus, distance between the flange and the sub-tank can be reduced, so that the height of the fuel feed apparatus can be reduced.
