A fuel system (4) for a combustion engine (2) comprises a first fuel tank (20), a second fuel tank (22), a first fuel pipe (36) arranged in connection with the first fuel tank (20) and the second fuel tank (22), a second fuel pipe (40) arranged in connection with the first fuel tank (20), a main feed pump (26), and a transfer pump (28). The main feed pump (26) feeds fuel from the first fuel tank (20) through the second fuel pipe (40), and the transfer pump (28) feeds fuel from the second fuel tank (22) to the first fuel tank (20) via the first fuel pipe (36). A valve (32) is arranged downstream of the transfer pump (28). The valve (32) comprises an inlet connected with the transfer pump (28), a first outlet connected with the first fuel pipe (36) and a second outlet connected with the second fuel pipe (40). The fuel system reduces the risk of insufficient or loss of fuel supply to the combustion engine in the event of an operational disruption, and enables a method for continued operation, albeit with potentially reduced power. This also secures the operation of the combustion engine (2) and a vehicle equipped with such a fuel system. |
