Abstract: A pump device includes an electrical delivery pump, a first port for an air filter, a second port for a fuel tank, a valve opening, a connecting line, a bypass line, and an electrical switching valve. The connecting line connects the ports via the valve opening, which has a valve seat formed at the opening, a valve body receptacle, and a valve body configured to interact with the seat and adjustable in a direction of the seat by a delivery flow of the delivery pump. The bypass line branches off from the connecting line upstream of the opening, and has a throttled bypass outlet opening into the connecting line downstream of the opening. The switching valve has an electrical actuator, for example a magnet coil, operable to move the body. Such a pump device requires less structural space and reduced production costs relative to conventional pump devices.
