Fuel system having a jet pump

A fuel system for supplying fuel to a fuel consuming device, said fuel system comprising:

• a fuel pump having a fuel pump inlet and a fuel pump outlet such that said fuel pump pumps fuel from said fuel pump inlet to said fuel pump outlet;
• and
• a jet pump assembly comprising:
• a first fuel passage defined by a first tube, said first fuel passage having a first fuel passage inlet and a first fuel passage outlet;
• and
• a second fuel passage defined by a second tube and connected to said fuel pump outlet such that said second fuel passage receives pressurized fuel from said fuel pump outlet, said second fuel passage having a primary orifice which extends through said second tube, said primary orifice being centered about and extending along a primary orifice axis such that said primary orifice axis is directed into said first fuel passage and said primary orifice introduces a first flow of fuel into said first fuel passage, said second fuel passage also having a secondary orifice which extends through said second tube, said secondary orifice being centered about and extending along a secondary orifice axis which is not coincident with said primary orifice axis and which is directed at an inner surface of said first tube such that said secondary orifice introduces a second flow of fuel into said first fuel passage which impinges said inner surface of said first tube, said first flow of fuel and said second flow of fuel creating a venturi effect within said first fuel passage which draws a third flow of fuel into said first fuel passage through said first fuel passage inlet such that said first flow of fuel, said second flow of fuel, and said third flow of fuel combine in said first fuel passage and exit said first fuel passage through said first fuel passage outlet;
• wherein said secondary orifice axis is not parallel to said primary orifice axis and continuously diverges away from said primary orifice axis in a direction from said primary orifice to said first fuel passage outlet.
