A connection ring is provided for removable attachment of a fuel supply unit on a fuel tank. The connection ring has a ring upper side, at least one attachment elevation which protrudes from the ring upper side, and at least one tool engagement region. The tool engagement region is constructed such that a torque from a tool can be transmitted onto the connection ring. At least one portion of the tool engagement region and one portion of the attachment elevation are at an equal distance from the center of the connection ring in the radial direction from the center.

A system, method, and display device for displaying an expected range of driving distances for a vehicle having a driving unit and an energy storage unit. A sensor senses an amount of remaining energy in the energy storage unit. An average minimum energy consumption rate and an average maximum energy consumption rate of the driving unit are determined based on at least one of (a) vehicle-specific energy consumption parameters; and (b) driver-specific energy consumption parameters. A minimum expected driving distance is calculated based on the sensed amount of remaining energy and the average maximum energy consumption rate. A maximum expected driving distance is calculated based on the sensed amount of remaining energy and the average minimum energy consumption rate. The expected range of driving distances defined by the minimum expected driving distance and the maximum expected driving distance are displayed on a display unit.

A delivery unit has a level transmitter in which it is possible that angular deviations of the flange and/or of the bottom of the fuel tank from the desired position have no no effect on the measuring precision of the level transmitter arranged on the delivery unit. The connection between the flange and the pump holder is longitudinally movable and rotatable, and the lower end of the pump holder can be centered in a swivellable manner on a bottom of the fuel tank or of a baffle pot.
