A fuel pump comprises a regenerative pump section, a driving section and a housing, the regenerative pump section being provided with a vapor vent for discharging fuel vapor. The vapor vent communicates with an outside of the fuel pump through a vent housing for a vortex flow. The vent housing has a vent chamber, a tangential groove and a discharge hole. A vortex flow of the fuel including the fuel vapor generates in the vent chamber and flows from the tangential groove to the discharge hole. When the fuel vapor does not generate, the vortex phenomenon is enhanced so that an amount of the fuel discharged from the discharge hole is reduced. The vent housing may have a radial control groove communicating with a control hole in addition to the tangential groove.
A fuel pump comprising a regenerative pump section, a driving section connected to an impeller of the regenerative pump section, and a housing enclosing the regenerative pump section and the driving section, the fuel pump being provided with a vapor vent midway of a pump passage extending from a suction port of the regenerative pump section to a discharge port thereof, wherein
