Title:
FUEL FEEDER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/035157
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fuel filter (10) constituting a feed unit (8) comprises a conductive filter case (11) and a filter element (14). The filter case (11) is formed so that a cross-sectional surface comprising inside wall portions (11A), outside wall portions (11B), etc., describe a U-shape so as to enlarge the contact area with a fuel inside a fuel tank. Therefore, the fuel discharged from a fuel tank (9) flows into a liquid chamber (15) of the fuel filter (10) and is supplied to the outside from a fuel feed pipe portion (20) through the filter element (14) and a fuel passage (12A). Static electricity charged by the filter case (11) at this time is discharged to the surrounding fuel having a slight conductivity from the outer peripheral surface of the filter case (11).
