A fuel pressure regulator and fuel filter assembly includes: a housing, having a connecting end having a fuel channel; a filter element, located in an accommodating cavity of the housing; a cover plate, located at a second end of the housing; a rear cover, having one end being an opening end and another end being a spring seat, and a sidewall, the opening end being connected to the housing; a spring, a first end thereof being pressed against the spring seat; a seal arranged in the rear cover, a second end of the spring being pressed against the seal; and a fixing ring that fixes the rear cover to the connecting end of the housing, the fixing ring being welded by laser to the connecting end. When fuel pressure is no greater than a spring preload, the seal closes the fuel channel.

Fuel pressure regulator and fuel filter assembly

A fuel delivery unit of a motor vehicle comprises a prefilter arranged inside a swirl pot, said prefilter having a filter element, and at least one connection piece for connecting a supplementary filter element. The at least one connection piece, in its initial condition, is closed, and is opened when the supplementary filter element is attached. The invention allows the fuel delivery unit to be adapted to projected filter surfaces of the prefilter.

Fuel delivery unit

A corrugated pipe of a fuel line of a fuel supply system of a motor vehicle, with at least one flexible wavy portion having waves, the waves in each case having a wave crest and of a wave trough. The at least one wavy portion possesses at least one first region in which the waves have a larger diameter.

Corrugated pipe of a fuel line

A device for collecting fuel in a fuel tank of a motor vehicle having a prefilter arranged inside a swirl pot. The prefilter has a section rising from a horizontal plane and a section lying in the horizontal plane. The sections of the prefilter are produced as one piece and are connected to the swirl pot. The prefilter has an especially large surface.

Device for controlling fuel in a fuel tank

A fuel delivery unit for a motor vehicle, wherein a swirl pot has a base formed from an upper part and a lower part, and an outer wall connected to the base, forming a seal. The upper part and the lower part bound fuel-delivering regions of a suction jet pump and of a section of a feed line. This arrangement allows the fuel delivery unit to be produced at particularly low cost.

Fuel delivery unit for a motor vehicle

A delivery unit for delivering fuel in a fuel tank comprises a prefilter and swirl pot which are produced as one piece. The prefilter is produced during die-casting of the swirl pot. The invention allows the delivery unit to be produced in an especially inexpensive manner.

Delivery unit for delivering fuel

A feed unit for feeding fuel has a housing formed integrally with the casing of a swirl pot, the housing comprising a fine filter. The fine filter is configured open toward one side and is closed by a cover. The cover is formed integrally with a base plate sealing the casing of the swirl pot. As a result, the feed unit has a particularly low number of components to be assembled and can be produced in a particularly cost-effective way.

Feed unit for feeding fuel

A device used to retain a fuel pump in a fuel container of a motor vehicle, which includes a pump holder that is made entirely of plastic by injection moulding. Retaining devices, which is used to join the pump holder to the fuel pump and to a baffle pot, are connected to each other by arms that are oriented away from each other. The arms, which are orientated away from each other, form a cardanic frame that dampens vibrations from the fuel pump.

A feed unit has a surge chamber, a fuel pumpwhich is arranged in the surge chamber, and a pump holder, the fuel pumpbeing arranged in the pump holderand the pump holderbeing fastened in the surge chamber. The pump holderhas at least two rodswhich are fastened in the surge chamber, the rodsbeing connected to a mountfor the fuel pump

Feed unit

In a fuel pump () with an adapter () there are provided latching means () disposed opposite one another and arranged at opposite ends of rocker elements () having a release mechanism () which can be actuated by hand. The rocker elements () are produced integrally with the adapter (). By pressing together the release mechanism () the latching mechanism () are released from the fuel pump (). The adapter () has a non-return valve () and/or a pressure-limiting valve (). The fuel pump () can therefore be adapted to the particular application by simply exchanging the adapter ().

Fuel pump provided for installation inside a fuel container, with an adapter

In a feed unit for feeding fuel from a fuel container of a motor vehicle a surge part () has a base plate () and an adjoining tubular section (). The base plate () is fabricated in one piece with a nozzle () and a mixer pipe () of a suction jet pump () and has receptacles () for a fine filter () and for supporting rods () of a fuel pump (). The feed unit is of particularly simple design as a result of this and can be fabricated in a cost-effective way.

A fuel delivery moduleand fuel tank combination includes a fuel tankfor a vehicle. The fuel tank has a top walland a bottom surface. A fuel pumpis disposed in the fuel tank. The fuel pump has an axis A disposed generally at an acute angle &#x3b1; with respect to the bottom surface of the fuel tank. A fuel filteris disposed in the fuel tank generally adjacent to the fuel pump. A flangeis mounted to the top wallof the fuel tank.

Fuel delivery module for low installation height applications

The invention relates to a device for ducting electrical lines through the wall of a fuel tank (), whereby a steel support () is materially connected to the wall of the fuel tank (). Contacts () are introduced through the support (). The contacts () have a sleeving () made from glass or ceramic. A leakage of fuel vapors from the fuel tank () is thus almost completely excluded.
