Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to indicate like or corresponding parts in the various drawings, a fuel supply system for a marine internal combustion engine is schematically shown in FIG. 3 .

[0020] FIG. 3 shows a fuel vapor separator 50 having a body 52 formed from a polymeric material, the fuel vapor separator 50 being adapted to receive a liquid fuel supply and to provide a substantially vapor-free liquid fuel supply to a fuel pump 54 . A fuel pump 54 is preferably supported by the fuel vapor separator 50 and may be an electric motor driven fuel pump with an inlet and an outlet 56 which communicates with the liquid fuel supply in the main body 52 and through which pressurized fuel passes. Outlet 56 discharges for delivery to the engine. Fuel is pumped from the tank into the reservoir of the vapor separator 50 using a low pressure lift pump 60 . A low pressure lift pump 60 is integrally formed with the vapor separator 50 . That...

Abstract

A system for supplying fuel under pressure to an internal combustion engine, and to control fuel delivery to a fuel injection system in an internal combustion engine having a low pressure pump formed integrally as at least part of a main housing of a vapor separator assembly. The low pressure pump lifts fuel into a cavity of a reservoir, which is drawn from a high pressure pump into the internal combustion engine. Due to the integrated nature of the low pressure pump, leak paths and assembly costs are reduced.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Application Serial No. 61 / 293,363, filed January 8, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a system for supplying fuel under pressure to an internal combustion engine, and more particularly to controlling fuel delivery to a fuel injection system in an internal combustion engine having a vapor separation assembly integrally formed as at least a portion of the main housing low pressure pump. Background technique [0004] In fuel supply systems, and especially for marine engines with in-plate and valve stem driven engines, it is often a challenge to supply fuel flow uninterrupted under all operating conditions. The operating environment is often hot, which can cause fuel evaporation if not carefully controlled. And the fuel delivery must be compatible with the ship's engine operating cycle, which ...
