A fuel system for a marine propulsion system includes a reservoir that defines a cavity in which first and second fuel pumps are disposed. The reservoir is mounted on the marine propulsion system at a location which causes the reservoir to be at least partially submerged within, and in thermal communication with, water in which the marine propulsion system is operated when a propulsor of the marine propulsion system is inactive. The first fuel pump is a lift pump which draws fuel from a fuel tank and pumps the fuel into the cavity of the reservoir. The second fuel pump is a high pressure pump which draws fuel from the cavity and pumps the fuel at a higher pressure to a fuel rail of an engine.

1. A fuel system for a marine vessel, comprising:a marine propulsion system which is attachable to said marine vessel; a reservoir having a cavity for containing liquid fuel for use by an engine of said marine propulsion system of said marine vessel, said reservoir being attached to said marine propulsion system at a location which at least partially submerges said reservoir within a body of water in which said marine propulsion system is operated when a propulsor of said marine propulsion system is inactive; and a first pump disposed in fluid communication with said liquid fuel within said cavity.
