Abstract
In a feed device with a filling-level sensor fastened to a wall of a baffle, the filling-level sensor has a lever wire for holding a float. The lever wire is fastenable in different orientations on a pivotably mounted yoke. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the lever wire. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.
