Abstract
A device for delivering a liquid additive includes: a tank configured to store the liquid additive; a pump; a suction point at which the liquid additive can be sucked out of the tank by the pump; and a filter at least partially delimiting an intermediate space between the filter and the suction point and separating the intermediate space from an interior space of the tank. The filter has a filter surface with a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge and the bottom edge being spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction by 30 mm to 80 mm and the suction point being positioned at most 5 mm below the top edge in the vertical direction.
