A fuel delivery unit includes an installation holder accommodating at least a first reservoir with a fuel pump arranged therein, a fuel filter and a cover closure for a fitting opening in a fuel tank. The fuel delivery unit additionally includes a second reservoir which in the installation position is disposed beside the first reservoir and communicates therewith. The first and second reservoirs are accommodated by the installation holder displaceably and/or pivotably relative to each other at least between a fitting configuration and an installation configuration. At least one reservoir at least in the installation configuration is arranged at least partly outside the projected area of the cover closure in the tank.

Fuel delivery unit

A fuel tank for a motor vehicle is provided with a reservoir, which is accessible through a closable opening in the wall of the fuel tank. In order to be able to select the size of the reservoir independently of the size of the opening, the reservoir comprises at least two modules ( ) which can be connected to each other and which are assembled within the tank to form the reservoir. At least one module of the reservoir can already be inserted into the tank when producing the tank. Additional modules can be inserted into the finished tank through the opening in the wall of the tank. It is also possible for all modules forming the reservoir to be subsequently inserted into the tank through the opening in the wall of the tank.

Fuel tank for a motor vehicle

A device for an arrangement inside a fuel tank, provided with pumps and filters for supplying and filtering fuel that is fed to an internal combustion engine, whereby the fuel is conveyed from the bottom area of the tank through a first filter into a collector chamber and fuel is conveyed from said collector chamber by means of a second pump through a second filter to the internal combustion chamber. Both pumps are arranged in a pump unit. The collector chamber is arranged vertically above the pump unit and the filter with respect to the fitting position of the device and is embodied as an open overflow container, whereby the inventive device can be produced in a rational manner and offers good functionality.

Device for an arrangement inside a fuel tank for supplying and filtering fuel

A method and a device are provided for determining the amount of fuel in the fuel tank of a motor vehicle. The fuel tank has a main storage reservoir which is provided with a filling level meter for determining the respective fuel therein and a reserve reservoir which is of substantially smaller volume in comparison with the main storage reservoir, which is closed in itself, and which is supplied with fuel by a pump from the main storage reservoir. After the main storage reservoir is emptied, the fuel reserve which is then still contained in the reserve reservoir is calculated as the difference of a defined volume of the reserve reservoir ( ) and the fuel consumption summed over time.

Method and device for determining the fuel reserve in a motor vehicle fuel system

A fuel tank has a delivery unit which is arranged within the tank body and which has a reservoir. The delivery unit can be introduced into the tank body through a closable opening in the wall thereof. The tank further includes a filling level measuring device which is arranged outside the reservoir of the delivery unit and which can also be introduced into the tank body through the opening. The measuring device can be introduced into the tank body separately from the delivery unit and is held in its operative position by a holder mounted to the opening. The holder can be in the form of a ring mounted to the edge of the opening.
