Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1999/030027
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fuel supply apparatus which comprises a fuel pump (4) provided in a fuel tank (1) for pressure feeding a fuel to an injector, a pressure regulator (6) provided in the fuel tank (1) for discharging a surplus of the fuel from the fuel pump (4) into the fuel tank (1) as a surplus fuel through a flow passage to the injector to regulate fuel pressures, a fuel filter (5) provided upstream of the pressure regulator (6) in a flow passage, which connects the fuel pump (4) to the pressure regulator (6), and receiving therein a filter element (12) for filtering a fuel discharged from the fuel pump (4), and an earth device provided with a conductive protector (24) and a conductive member (25) to provide for earthing of the filter element (12), thereby surely discharging static electricity generated when the fuel passes through the filter element to provide for stable fuel supplying.
