Abstract

An electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles, comprising: a fuel tank, at least one pump, a fuel sump, wherein the at least one pump is operatively coupled to and between the fuel tank and the sump, and an engine, wherein the engine is operatively coupled to the fuel sump. A fuel sump system for land vehicles, comprising: an inlet from a pump, wherein the pump is operatively connected to a fuel tank, a fuel pump system, a regulator operatively coupled to the fuel pump system, an outlet operatively coupled to an engine, and a float component, coupled to the inlet. An electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles, comprising: a fuel tank, at least one pump, a fuel sump, wherein the at least one pump is operatively coupled to and between the fuel tank and the sump, and an engine, wherein the engine is operatively coupled to the fuel sump and wherein the electronic fuel injection system does not require a return line from the engine to the fuel tank.

Claims (44)

1. An electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles, comprising:

a fuel tank;

at least one pump;

a fuel sump, wherein the at least one pump is operatively coupled to and between the fuel tank and the sump, wherein the fuel sump comprises:

an inlet from at least one pump, wherein the pump is operatively connected to a fuel tank,

a fuel pump system,

a regulator operatively coupled to the fuel pump system,

an outlet operatively coupled to an engine, and

a float component, coupled to the inlet; and

an engine, wherein the engine is operatively coupled to the fuel sump.

2. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 1 , wherein the fuel pump system further comprises a filter component.

3. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 1 , wherein the regulator further comprises a return component.

4. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 1 , wherein the fuel pump system comprises a high pressure pump.

5. An electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles, comprising:

a fuel tank;

at least one pump, wherein the pump comprises a mechanical pump, an electric pump, a low-pressure pump or a combination thereof;

a fuel sump, wherein the at least one pump is operatively coupled to and between the fuel tank and the sump; and

an engine, wherein the engine is operatively coupled to the fuel sump.

6. A fuel sump system for land vehicles, comprising:

an inlet from a pump, wherein the pump is operatively connected to a fuel tank,

a fuel pump system,

a regulator operatively coupled to the fuel pump system,

an outlet operatively coupled to an engine, and

a float component, coupled to the inlet.

7. The fuel sump system of claim 6 , wherein the fuel pump system comprises a high pressure pump.

8. The fuel sump system of claim 6 , wherein the fuel pump system further comprises a filter component.

9. The fuel sump system of claim 6 , wherein the regulator further comprises a return component.

10. An electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles, comprising:

a fuel tank,

at least one pump,

a fuel sump, wherein the at least one pump is operatively coupled to and between the fuel tank and the sump, and

an engine, wherein the engine is operatively coupled to the fuel sump and wherein the electronic fuel injection system does not require a return line from the engine to the fuel tank.

11. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 10 , wherein the fuel sump comprises:

an inlet from at least one pump, wherein the pump is operatively connected to a fuel tank,

a fuel pump system,

a regulator operatively coupled to the fuel pump system,

an outlet operatively coupled to an engine, and

a float component, coupled to the inlet.

12. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 11 , wherein the fuel pump system further comprises a filter component.

13. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 11 , wherein the regulator further comprises a return component.

14. The electronic fuel injection system for land vehicles of claim 10 , wherein the pump comprises a mechanical pump, an electric pump, a low-pressure pump or a combination thereof.

15. The electronic fuel injection system of claim 10 , wherein the fuel pump system comprises a high pressure pump.

16. The electronic fuel injection system of claim 10 , wherein the fuel pump system further comprises a filter component.

17. The electronic fuel injection system of claim 10 , wherein the regulator further comprises a return component.
