A motor-driven regenerative type fuel pump is provided with an overflow mechanism disposed adjacent to a discharge pipe. The overflow mechanism includes a plug hole in a pump housing and a plug member disposed in the plug hole. The pump housing is formed with an axially inclined recess circumferentially extending around the plug member and communciated with an axial groove formed in the plug member. The rate of overflow of fuel and thus the upper limit of the pump discharge can be adjusted by rotating the plug member relative to the plug hole to compensate for any insufficiency of pressure regulating ability of a pressure regulator in an engine fuel injection system. The overflow mechanism further includes an adjustment-locking member attached to the pump housing and the plug member after the overflow-adjustment by the manufacture has been completed.
