Patent attributes
A fuel pump includes a housing, and a motor. An impeller has first and second impeller flow channels having a plurality of vanes positioned therein. The impeller defines a flow passageway extending through the impeller. A cover is attached to the housing and defines a cover flow channel. The cover flow channel receives fuel from an inlet formed in the cover. A first portion of the cover flow channel is aligned with the first impeller flow channel and a second portion of the cover flow channel is aligned with the second impeller flow channel. The cover flow channel extends around the cover more than 360 degrees. A body is positioned within the housing and defines an impeller chamber, sized to receive the impeller, and an outlet passageway is positioned to fluidically connect to the flow passageway of the impeller to receive higher pressure fuel for delivery to the engine.
