Abstract

The assembly comprises a module supported in the reservoir by side plate, with outlet to fuel tank, return inlet and electrical power socket. The module housing, with end cap, forms an intermediate reservoir for the liquid, which is collected there by the venturi pump activated by flow in the return line from the main tank when pressure in the outlet is exceeded. The main pump is horizontally mounted and preferably electrically-driven. The pump is secured in the holder with side engaging clips.
