Abstract

Provided is a fuel pump module for supplying diesel fuel. The fuel pump module in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention is configured to include a flange assembly fixed to an inlet of a fuel tank and a reservoir body assembly disposed in the fuel tank, wherein the reservoir body assembly includes: a filter that removes foreign objects included in the diesel fuel; a fuel pump that forcibly circulates the diesel fuel passing through the filter to a diesel engine; and a pump connection return passage that supplies fuel toward a diesel engine through a supply line of fuel but supplies the diesel fuel that is returned without being consumed by the diesel engine between the filter and the fuel pump to supply the fuel to the fuel pump without passing through the filter.

Claims (11)

1. A fuel pump module for supplying diesel fuel including a flange assembly fixed to an inlet of a fuel tank and a reservoir body assembly disposed in the fuel tank and a guide rod connecting the flange assembly with the reservoir body assembly,

wherein the reservoir body assembly includes;

a filter that removes foreign objects included in the diesel fuel;

a fuel pump that forcibly circulates the diesel fuel passing through the filter to a diesel engine;

a pump connection return passage that supplies diesel fuel toward a diesel engine through a supply line of fuel but is returned without being consumed by the diesel engine between the filter and the fuel pump to supply the fuel to the fuel pump without passing through the filter;

wherein the guide rod extruded with a synthetic resin and extruded in a form having a hollow partitioned by a rib connects the flange assembly with the reservoir body assembly.

2. The fuel pump module of claim 1 , further comprising: a return fuel guide part bent toward the fuel pump so as to discharge the returned fuel only in the fuel pump while forming an end portion of the pump connection return passage so that the returned fuel is not circulated in the filter direction.

3. The fuel pump module of claim 1 , further comprising a check valve that prevents the diesel fuel introduced into the pump connection return passage from flowing backward.

4. The fuel pump module for supplying diesel fuel of claim 1 , further comprising a valve that supplies the returned fuel to the fuel pump through the pump connection return passage when the fuel is a predetermined temperature or less and supplies the returned fuel so as to be mixed with the fuel of the fuel tank through a normal driving return passage when the fuel is a predetermined temperature or more.

5. The fuel pump module of claim 4 , wherein the valve is driven by sensing the temperature of the fuel by a bimetal or a temperature sensing sensor.

6. The fuel pump module of claim 4 , further comprising a return fuel guide part bent toward the fuel pump so as to discharge the returned fuel only in the fuel pump while forming an end portion of the pump connection return passage so that the returned fuel is not circulated in the filter direction.
