A liquid fuel pump arrangement for delivering fuel to an engine comprises a liquid-ring pump including a motor driven bladed impeller rotor which is located eccentrically within a cylindrical bore of a chamber forming part of a hollow pump body structure. The hollow pump body structure also accommodates a motor-driven prime pump impeller which pumps fuel within the pump body structure to an aircraft or other engine. An inner end wall of the liquid ring pump provides the liquid ring with access to the liquid fuel within the pump body structure while an outer end wall of the liquid ring pump has an air/vapor inlet port through which the bladed impeller of the liquid ring pump during rotation thereof draws air/vapor and an air/vapor outlet port the flow of air/vapor expelled therefrom by compression of the air/vapor within the liquid ring in response to rotation of the bladed impeller being restricted by flow restriction means.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A liquid fuel pump arrangement for delivering liquid fuel to an engine comprising a liquid-ring pump including a motor-driven bladed impeller rotor which is located eccentrically within a cylindrical bore of a chamber forming part of a hollow pump body structure so that during rotation of the impeller rotor the blade tips thereof come into close proximity with the cylindrical wall of said bore at one position only, the hollow pump body structure also accommodating a motor-driven prime pump impeller which pumps fuel within the pump body structure to an aircraft or other engine, in which an inner end wall of the liquid ring pump provides the liquid ring with access to the liquid fuel within the hollow pump body structure whilst an outer end wall of the liquid ring pump has an air/vapour inlet port through which the bladed impeller of the liquid ring pump during rotation thereof draws air/vapour and an air/vapour outlet port the flow of air/vapour expelled therefrom by compression of the air/vapour within the liquid-ring in response to rotation of the bladed impeller being restricted by flow the restriction means in order to build up static pressure within the liquid ring to a level preventing boiling of the liquid within the ring which could cause vapour blockage of the pump.
2.
A liquid fuel pump arrangement as claimed in claim 1, in which the hollow pump body structure accommodates an electric motor for driving the bladed impeller rotor of the liquid-ring pump and the prime pump impeller.
3.
A liquid fuel pump arrangement as claimed in claim 1, in which the flow restriction means comprises the jet orifice of a jet pump and the air/vapour expelled through the jet orifice is used to cause air/vapour in the fuel entering the hollow pump body from a fuel tank through a fuel line to be drawn around the jet orifice and through the jet pump and exhausted.
4.
A liquid fuel pump arrangement as claimed in claim 3, in which the air/vapour exhausted through the jet pump is exhausted into the fuel tank
