ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus (Fig. 3B) and method for pumping fuel substantially free of air from a storage tank to a nozzle (68), includes a vane pump (84) and centrifugal separator (86) bolted together and sharing a common drive shaft (108), whereby fuel is pumped from the vane pump (84) into a central portion (103) of the centrifuge (86) in parallel with the longitudinal axis of a curved multibladed impeller (Fig. 4) of the centrifuge while the impeller is rotating, whereafter the rotating impeller creates centrifugal forces to cause air to be extracted from the fuel, the air being directed rearward along the axis of the impeller for delivery to a vent port (118) and the fuel substantially free of air being driven against the inside wall of the centrifuge and delivered to a fuel outlet port (148). A sump (89) is connected to the vent port (118) of the centrifugal separator (86) for receiving a rarefired air/fuel mixture therefrom for completing the separation of air from the fuel.
