Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a fuel supply system having a fuel delivery pipe for distributing fuels to injectors of cylinders. This system further includes an inner pipe fixedly inserted into the delivery pipe to constitute part of a fuel passageway, the inner pipe having a length approximate to the delivery pipe. Fuel feed and feedback pipes close to each other are connected to a proximal portion of the fuel passageway consisting of the delivery pipe and the inner pipe.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A fuel supply system comprising: a fuel delivery pipe for distributing fuels to injectors corresponding to respective cylinders, an inner pipe inserted fixedly into said fuel delivery pipe to constitute part of a fuel passageway, a fuel feed pipe connected to a proximal portion of said inner pipe, a fuel feedback pipe connected to a proximal portion of said fuel delivery pipe and disposed closely adjacent to said fuel feed pipe and to the proximal portion of the inner pipe, and at least one opening disposed on the end portion of the inner pipe opposite to the proximal portion thereof to communicate with the fuel delivery pipe, whereby the closely adjacent spacing of said fuel feed pipe and said fuel feedback pipe at the proximal portion of said inner pipe and said fuel delivery pipe minimizes obstacles to the flow of fuel within said fuel delivery pipe and shortens the connections between said fuel feed and feedback pipes and fuel pipes connected to the fuel tank.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
A fuel supply system comprising: a fuel delivery pipe for distributing fuels to injectors corresponding to respective cylinders, an inner pipe inserted fixedly into said fuel delivery pipe to constitute part of a fuel passageway, a fuel feed pipe connected to a proximal portion of said inner pipe, a fuel feedback pipe connected to a proximal portion of said fuel delivery pipe and disposed closely adjacent to said fuel feed pipe and to the proximal portion of the inner pipe, and at least one opening disposed on the end portion of the inner pipe opposite to the proximal portion thereof to communicate with the fuel delivery pipe, whereby the closely adjacent spacing of said fuel feed pipe and said fuel feedback pipe at the proximal portion of said inner pipe and said fuel delivery pipe minimizes obstacles to the flow of fuel within said fuel delivery pipe and shortens the connections between said fuel feed and feedback pipes and fuel pipes connected to the fuel tank.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A fuel supply system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said opening is at least one aperture provided on the end portion of the inner pipe opposite to the proximal portion.
