Abstract
The invention relates to a heating device, especially for a motor vehicle, with a burner, to which fuel is supplied from a tank via a fuel line by means of a pump, especially a piston pump, and with an electronically controllable valve means which is inserted into the fuel line and which can be controlled by a control means. To ensure problem-free feed of fuel to the burner independently of the pump pressure, a pressure reservoir is assigned to the valve means, fuel being delivered by means of the pump controlled in a clocked manner by the control unit, to the pressure reservoir and from the latter to the burner, without the action of the pump.
