MULTIPLE PUMP FUEL SYSTEM

In at least some implementations, a fuel pump assembly includes a first fuel pump and a second fuel pump that each have an electric motor, a pumping element driven by the motor, an inlet and an outlet through which fuel is discharged. The assembly also includes a passage communicated with the outlet of the first fuel pump and with the outlet of the second fuel pump, a fuel outlet in communication with the passage and through which fuel exits the fuel pump assembly, and a valve having an inlet in communication with the passage between the outlet of the first fuel pump and the outlet of the second fuel pump. The valve also having an outlet through which fuel exits the passage and a valve body that controls fuel flow through the valve.
