Abstract
A reservoir assemblyis provided for a fuel tank of a vehicle. The reservoir assemblyis constructed and arranged to receive an electric fuel pump assemblyor a fuel suction unitin a reservoirthereof. The fuel suction unitand the electric fuel pump assemblyare configured so as to be interchangeably received in the reservoir. This interchangeability advantageously saves design time and, from a supplier's point of view, provides more flexibility since two separate configurations are no longer required.
