(54) Fuel pump module for vehicle


(57) The invention provides a fuel pump module for vehicle in which the overall length can be largely reduced and the vapor generated in the inside can be discharged to the outside.
To achieve this, an electrically driven fuel pump 13 and a fuel filter 14 which are contained in a module case 12 are so disposed that their longitudinal axes are parallel to each other, and a vapor separating chamber 26 for receiving the vapor generated in the electrically driven fuel pump 13 and the fuel filter 14 and for feeding the vapor separated from the fuel to a fuel return port 22 is disposed in the module case 12 adjacently to one end in the longitudinal direction of each of the electrically driven fuel pump 13 and the fuel filter 14.
