Abstract
A fuel supply system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a fuel tank, has a reservoir, a fuel pump, a suction filter, a fuel transfer and a pressure accumulator. The reservoir is located in the fuel tank and is hermetically sealed. The fuel pump is configured to suck fuel from the reservoir and to supply the fuel to the internal combustion engine. The suction filter is configured to filter the fuel sucked by the fuel pump. The fuel transfer is configured to transfer the fuel from the fuel tank into the reservoir and to pressurize the fuel in the reservoir. The pressure accumulator is connected to the reservoir in order to control a pressure of the fuel in the reservoir.
