Zusammenfassung:A fuel system includes a fuel gathering system in fluid communication with a fuel storage container, and a fluid pump assembly in fluid communication with the fuel gathering system. The fluid pump assembly includes a main gear pump stage and a first flow attenuator. A main driven gear is meshed with a main drive gear in a main pump conduit, and a main pump bearing assembly rotatably supports the main drive gear and the main driven gear. The first flow attenuator is disposed around the main pump conduit, and includes a substantially polygonal fluid opening. Edges of the opening are substantially aligned with an undercut bearing portion on at least one of an inlet side and an outlet side of the main pump conduit to define a non-round fluid boundary.
