The jet pump includes a pump body which is ultrasonically welded to the reservoir and a jet nozzle which extends from the pump body towards an inlet to the reservoir. An alignment device or the jet pump engages an alignment device on the reservoir to ensure that the jet nozzle will be in accurate alignment with the inlet of the reservoir.
