A structure for the mounting of an electric pump in the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, and a respective intake filter

摘要

A structure for the mounting of an electric pump in a motor-vehicle fuel tank comprises a cylindrical support body (5) defined at the bottom by a base wall (7) for bearing on the base (2a) of the tank (2). The body (5) has upper means (9, 21, 21a) for connection to a delivery duct (3b) of the electric pump (3) and includes a casing (22) defining a cylindrical chamber which is connected to the delivery duct (3b) and in which a main fuel filter (4) is housed, and an axial cavity (28) in which the electric pump (3) is disposed. Means (32) for damping vibrations of the electric pump (3) are provided between the body (5) and the electric pump (3) and comprise a resilient member (32) connected, on the one hand, to an intake duct (3a) of the electric pump (3) and, on the other hand to the casing (22) of the main filter (24). <IMAGE>
