Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1045133A2] A fuel feed apparatus comprises a reservoir 4b containing a fuel pump 5 therein and provided with a fuel in-take port 17. The fuel in-take port 17 is so arranged as to face upward when the body of the motor bicycle or the motor car for which the apparatus is used is made to rest on its side prop stand or prance on the rear wheel. The inside of the fuel in-take port 17 is made to show a labyrinth structure. This the above arrangement, fuel is prevented from flowing out of the sub-tank 16 through the fuel in-take port 17 if the body is inclined so that the engine can be fed with fuel stably for a long period of time if the body is inclined. <IMAGE>
