A fuel conveying device having a pumping stage, an electric motor to drive the pumping stage, a control unit, a magnetoresistive fill level sensor that generates a fill level signal, including a temperature-effect compensator that generates a compensation signal to compensate for temperature-related influences on the fill level signal, and an evaluation unit () designed such that the temperature of a fluid surrounding the fill level sensor can be determined by the evaluation unit by the compensation signal. A fuel tank equipped with a fuel delivery device of said type, a method for determining the temperature of a fluid inside a fuel tank, a method for controlling and/or regulating an electric motor, and a method for controlling and/or regulating an injection of fuel vapors to a combustion process of an internal combustion engine.

Fuel delivery device, fuel tank equipped with a fuel delivery device of said type, method for determining the temperature of a fluid inside a fuel tank, method for controlling and/or regulating an electric motor, and method for controlling and/or regulating an injection of fuel vapors to a combustion process of an internal combustion engine

A method determines an inflection point OP of a parameter profile i, n which is representative of a component tolerance and a state of wear of a fuel pump. The fuel pump is provided for a fuel supply system for use in a device equipped with an internal combustion engine. The device being a passenger car, utility vehicle and/or a stationary or mobile power generator.

Tolerance and wear compensation of a fuel pump

A method for calibrating a fuel pump for use in a fuel supply system of a device having internal combustion engine includes determining a tolerance-conditioned and wear-conditioned deviation of the fuel pump with respect to its delivery behavior so that the calibration permits energy-consumption-optimized actuation of the fuel pump.

A fuel delivery unit in a fuel tank includes a fuel pump drivable by an electric motor. The fuel pump has at least one suction jet pump for delivering fuel, the suction jet pump being operated by a propulsion jet that is deliverable by the fuel pump. The fuel pump is arranged in a swirl pot, which is fillable by the suction jet pump, and the fuel pump has a first outlet, through which fuel is deliverable to a consumer, and a second outlet openable or closable by a valve.
