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. A carrier for mounting the filling-level sensor to a wall of the baffle is connectable to the wall in at least two different orientations. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the carrier on the wall. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.
