Abstract

See full text

A fuel supply system includes a sub fuel tank, a booster pump, a fuel pipe, a fuel pressure sensor and a controller. The sub fuel tank stores a fuel supplied thereto from a main fuel tank. The booster pump is disposed inside the sub fuel tank. The fuel pipe has a returnless structure and supplies the fuel with a pressure increased by the booster pump to a fuel injection device of an engine. The fuel pressure sensor detects the pressure of the fuel inside the fuel pipe. The controller is configured or programmed to perform a feedback control of the booster pump based on a value of the pressure of the fuel detected by the fuel pressure sensor such that the pressure of the fuel inside the fuel pipe becomes greater than or equal to a first threshold.
