A fuel tank assembly includes a fuel tank having a plurality of side walls spaced apart by a floor. A flange extends downward from one of the plurality of side walls at an angle toward the floor. A fuel pump extends from the flange; the fuel pump and flange are arranged to fixedly position at least one inlet connected to the fuel pump at or in close proximity to the floor of the fuel tank. A fuel dam extends away from the floor and has at least one passage formed therein. The fuel dam is positioned so as to create an accumulated area of the fuel tank surrounding the at least one inlet. Fuel enters the accumulated area through the at least one passage and is received by the at least one inlet.

A fuel pump controller includes a detecting device for detecting environmental vibrational energy and converting the environmental vibrational energy into an electrical signal. A motor controller is coupled to a fuel pump motor wherein the electrical signal is used by the controller to command the fuel pump motor to operate at one of a plurality of speeds wherein the commanded speed is at least in part a function of the environmental vibrational energy.

A modification to the vent control system of a fluid tank is provided. More particularly, an electronically controlled vent control system used in connection with a fuel tank is provided. The vent control system disclosed is operable to automatically sense the beginning of a fueling event and to open a venting valve allowing fuel to enter the tank. Subsequently, as the fuel reaches a predetermined fill level, the vent control system is operable to automatically close the venting valve, halting the flow of fuel into the tank.

A valved unit to control introduction of liquid fuel and venting of vaporous fuel relative to a vehicle fuel tank which unit is mounted on to the tank wall to effectively seal and isolate the tank downstream from a filler tube and related fuel delivery hoses. Tank closure is normally maintained by a closure spring which is overcome by introduction of fuel into the tank which allows movement of the inlet closure valve from its seated closed position and simultaneously opens an associated vaporous fuel vent control valve. When introduction of fuel is terminated, a spring returns the two valve elements back to their closed and sealed positions.

A fuel supply system with an accumulator that allows for the accumulation of fuel at a pressure greater than the nominal operating pressure of the fuel supply system. The accumulation of fuel allows for less frequent fuel pump operation and therefore a reduction in overall fuel consumption of an engine.

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, an integrated PWM fuel pump driver module includes a circuit board on which at least one power semiconductor is disposed and a fuel tube downstream of a fuel pump controlled by the driver module. The fuel flowing through the fuel tube cools each power semiconductor as heat is transferred from each power semiconductor into the fuel.
