A fuel delivery module for an automotive fuel delivery system includes a reservoir and a fuel pump. The fuel pump delivers fuel from the tank to the reservoir via a fuel tank inlet and reservoir outlet and from the reservoir to the engine via a reservoir inlet and engine outlet. The reservoir is formed with a plurality of contaminant traps for collecting contaminants contained in the fuel as the fuel is pumped through the reservoir such that the contaminants settle unto said contaminant traps thereby reducing the amount of contaminants entering the reservoir inlet.

[ We claim:] [1.] A fuel delivery module for a fuel system in an automotive vehicle, the fuel system including a fuel tank for storing fuel and the vehicle including an engine, with said fuel delivery module comprising:a reservoir having a bottom and a side, with said reservoir storing a portion of the fuel stored in the fuel tank;a means for pumping fuel from the fuel tank to said reservoir and from said reservoir to the engine; anda contaminate trap formed in said bottom of said reservoir for collecting contaminants contained in the fuel as fuel is pumped through said reservoir by said means for pumping fuel from the tank to the reservoir such that the contaminants settle into said contaminant traps thereby reducing the amount of contaminants entering said means for pumping fuel from said reservoir to the engine;wherein said contaminant trap has a generally oblong-shaped cross-section for enhancing retention of the fuel contaminants within said trap.
