Abstract: The invention relates to a pump unit arranged in an inner tank (3) of a fuel tank, comprising a fuel pump (5) which is used to pump fuel to the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle; an ejector pump (21) which is connected to the fuel pump (5) and used to pump fuel out of the fuel tank into the inner tank (3); and at least one filter element (20:31) which is used to filter fuel, wherein a housing part which is connected to the fuel pump (5) is provided with at least one channel (30;33;35;47) for guiding said fuel. In order to simplify the structure of the pump unit (2) and to enable substantial pre-assembly, the housing part (24;40) is configured in such a way that it can hold the at least one filter element (20;31), and the channel (30;33;35;47) is exclusively guided inside the housing part (24; 40) from the ejector pump (21) and/or the fuel pump (5) to the filter element (20;31).

Abstract: A valve for a fuel delivery unit has a counterholder pressed into a housing. A spring is supported on the counterholder and is intended for prestressing a closing part against a valve seat. The valve according to the invention can be fitted in a particularly simple manner.

Abstract: A side-channel pump includes guide means for the radial and/or axial guidance of an impeller, the guide means being arranged in the radially outer area of the impeller. The guide means include guide surfaces arranged on the impeller at an intended angle to the ends of the impeller. The frictional losses of the side-channel pump are thereby kept particularly low.
