    Abstract: A fuel delivery system is provided with a fuel solenoid valve to minimize fuel leakage and evaporative emissions during diurnal cycles by preventing pressure buildup as the temperature of the fuel system rises. The fuel solenoid valve is located between a pressurized side of the delivery system and a fuel tank. In one embodiment, the fuel solenoid valve is closed when the engine is running or when the engine is off and the rail is hot. When the fuel rail cools down, the solenoid valve opens to bleed a desired amount of fuel thereby creating a fuel vapor space. Thereafter, during hot soak conditions of the diurnal cycles when the fuel rail is hot again while the engine is off, the pressure will rise due to the thermal expansion of the fuel and the created fuel vapor space minimizes further rising of the fuel pressure. Further, by adjusting the solenoid valve opening time, the pressure rising limit may be set at a desired pressure to minimize injector leakage.

    Abstract: A fuel pump has a motor with a shaft extending therefrom and an impeller fitted thereon for pumping fuel from a fuel tank to an internal combustion engine. A pumping chamber, which encases the impeller, is comprised of a cover channel and a bottom channel formed in a pump cover and a pump bottom, respectively. The impeller has a plurality of radially extending vanes on an outer circumference separated by partitions of shorter radial length. The partitions are comprised of quarter-circle shaped arcuate portions extending from the outer circumference of the impeller to a straight portion having parallel sides, which preferably extend approximately 0.1 millimeters to 0.5 millimeters, to a flat top with rounded corners. Fluid active vane grooves thus formed circumferentially between the vanes and axially between the partitions which reduce fuel vortices angular acceleration within the pumping chamber thus increasing pump efficiency.

    Abstract: A fuel pump has a pump cover with an inlet through which fuel from a fuel tank is drawn by an impeller to a pumping chamber formed by a pump bottom and the pump cover. The inlet has divergent sides oriented such that fuel being pumped is routed radially outward of primary vortices in a section of the pumping chamber adjacent the inlet to a section of the pumping chamber opposite the inlet. In a first embodiment, the upper side of the inlet is oriented at approximately a 10 to 12 degree angle from the lower side. In a second embodiment, the upper side is oriented at approximately a 127 degree angle from a line parallel the shaft rotation, and the lower side is oriented at approximately a 139 degree angle from the same line.

    Abstract: A gerotor pump includes a pressure relief return flow guide system, composed of two distinct structures, a pressure relief port, and a flow guide. The pressure relief port separates the pressure relief flow and inlet flow, preventing them from mixing and causing turbulence in the inlet cavities. The flow guide is located at the end of the pressure relief port and the inlet to make the two flows smoothly merge in the inlet cavities.

    Abstract: An impeller for use in a regenerative pump for pumping automotive fuel to an engine includes a plurality of vanes radially extending from a core. Each vane has a leading surface, a trailing surface, and a sidewall between the leading surface and the trailing surface. A plurality of partitions is interposed between the vanes such that the vanes and partitions define a plurality of vane grooves. Fuel is then pumped by the vanes through the vane grooves such that the fuel flows along a generally spiral path thereby defining a primary vortex. A relief is formed at least partially along the length of each vane at the intersection between the trailing surface and the sidewall. This relief causes the fuel flowing along the generally spiral path, also known as the primary vortex, to also rotate about an instantaneous axis thereby defining a secondary vortex. The secondary vortex has the benefit of reducing turbulence with the attendant benefit of reducing cavitation or vapor generation within the fuel pump.

    Abstract: A fuel pump has a motor which rotates a shaft with an impeller fitted thereon for pumping fuel within a pumping chamber comprised of a cover channel and a bottom channel formed in a pump cover and a pump bottom, respectively, which encase the impeller. The cover channel begins at a fuel inlet and runs circumferentially to a transition section near the opposite end where it gradually becomes narrower and shallower until becoming flush with the inner cover face. The fuel outlet in the bottom channel is positioned circumferentially 0.degree.-5.degree. beyond the end of and in partial fluid communication with the cover channel so that fuel is expelled smoothly from the cover channel through the fuel outlet.

    Abstract: A system of alternate hose line bundling allows for exclusion of a higher pressure hose line from fasteners directly attached to a vehicle body. Alternatively to mounting to the vehicle body, the higher pressure hose line is coupled to a lower pressure hose line via fasteners which lack mounting features. Eliminating attachment of higher pressure hose lines to the vehicle body reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) experienced by passengers in the vehicle.
