A fuel supply module for delivering liquid fuel to a fuel rail includes a housing containing a fuel reservoir and a vapor reservoir formed by a seal between the housing and an inlet adapter. The inlet adapter couples to a main pump. The inlet adapter includes an upper cup having ports and an opposing lower cup having passage from the fuel reservoir to the lower cup interior for supplying fuel to the main pump. A hollow central column extends from the upper cup and defines a vapor opening placing the vapor reservoir and upper cup interior in communication with the lower cup interior. Ullage flows through the ports into the vapor reservoir and passes through the vapor opening to combine with fuel for consumption by the engine to prevent vapor lock.
