In a high-pressure fuel supplying apparatus, fuel is pumped from a fuel tank by a feed pump into a fuel gallery of a high-pressure pump via a low-pressure fuel passage. The low-pressure fuel passage can include a reservoir chamber that is formed by vertically upwardly expanding a portion of the passage located near the fuel gallery. The reservoir chamber is located above an upper end of the fuel gallery in a vertical direction. A communication passage, forming a portion of the low-pressure fuel passage, can be connected at one end thereof to an upper end portion of the fuel gallery. Another end portion of the communication passage extends diagonally upward from the upper end portion of the fuel gallery, and connects to the reservoir chamber. According to other embodiments, the reservoir chamber can be omitted as long as a portion of the communication passage is provided vertically above an upper end of the fuel gallery. Alternatively, the communication passage can lead to (and convey the fuel vapor produced in the fuel gallery to) an auxiliary injector or to a dedicated reservoir chamber that is separate from the low-pressure fuel passage.
