Pump vapor deflector for fuel pump module assembly

A fuel pump module assembly includes a fuel pump having an inlet and an outlet . The fuel pump is constructed and arranged to send fuel from the outlet to an engine of a vehicle. The fuel pump has a vapor purge port therein constructed and arranged to permit fuel vapor to exit the fuel pump generally downwardly. A pump filter is disposed below the vapor purge port and is associated with the inlet of the fuel pump. The pump filter is constructed and arranged to filter fuel prior to entering the inlet. A vapor deflector is associated with the vapor purge port and is constructed and arranged to deflect vapor, which exits the vapor purge port, so as to continue to move generally downwardly but away from the pump filter.
