<p>A reservoir pot 12 for a vehicle fuel tank 11 has a base 14 and a cylindrical side wall 15 which provides a reserve volume of liquid fuel. A jet pump 25 draws fuel though an inlet port 28 from an inlet chamber 36 to replenish the reserve volume. The inlet chamber is bounded below by a baffle plate 24 and on one side by an inlet aperture 41 which faces towards the front of the vehicle. A weir 42 formed on the baffle plate 24 partially obstructs the inlet aperture and this helps to prevent the loss of fuel droplets when the vehicle is in a nose-down attitude when the inlet aperture 41 is above the normal fuel level in the tank. <IMAGE></p> |
