In a feed device with a filling-level sensor fastened to a wall of a baffle, the filling-level sensor has a lever wire for holding a float. A carrier for mounting the filling-level sensor to a wall of the baffle is connectable to the wall in at least two different orientations. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the carrier on the wall. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.

Feed device intended for mounting in a fuel tank

In a feed device with a filling-level sensor fastened to a wall of a baffle, the filling-level sensor has a lever wire for holding a float. A carrier for mounting the filling-level sensor to a wall of the baffle has a first carrier part connected to the baffle and a second carrier part having the mounting for the lever wire. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the second carrier part on the first carrier part. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.
