A fuel supply system is disclosed for a direct injected "V" type engine powering an outboard motor. The fuel supply system includes a pump for supplying fuel from a tank to a vapor separator. An electrical pump delivers fuel from the vapor separator to a mechanical high pressure pump, which delivers fuel under high pressure to a fuel manifold and further to a pair of fuel rails. The fuel rails supply fuel to fuel injectors for delivering fuel to the combustion chambers of the engine. Recesses are formed on a side of each cylinder head and one fuel rail is positioned within each recess. The mechanical high pressure pump is positioned vertically above the uppermost fuel injector so that any fuel vapor within the fuel rails will rise toward the fuel pump. Fuel vapor that accumulates within the high pressure fuel pump is returned to the vapor separator.
