  • Patent number: 7980227
    Abstract: A feed unit for feeding fuel has a housing formed integrally with the casing of a swirl pot, the housing comprising a fine filter. The fine filter is configured open toward one side and is closed by a cover. The cover is formed integrally with a base plate sealing the casing of the swirl pot. As a result, the feed unit has a particularly low number of components to be assembled and can be produced in a particularly cost-effective way.

  • Publication number: 20110135505
    Abstract: A pump device for feeding fuel in a fuel tank of a motor vehicle, having a suction jet pump and having a control valve for regulating the feed rate of the suction jet pump, A valve body can be moved counter to the flow direction of a fuel jet of the suction jet pump to throttle the feed rate. In this way, forces for opening the control valve are kept low. A float controls the valve body via a shaft which is guided through a mixing tube of the suction jet pump.

  • Patent number: 6981491
    Abstract: A coupling valve structure 26 is provided for a fuel supply module 20. The module has a fuel pump 20 disposed in a fuel reservoir 18, a feed line 21 in fluid communication with an outlet of the fuel pump for feeding fuel to a high pressure pump 16 and thus to an engine, and a return line 22 for returning excess fuel from the engine or high pressure fuel pump to the reservoir 18. The coupling valve structure 26 includes a check valve 28 constructed and arranged to communicate with the feed line to permit fuel to be delivered to the engine and to prevent the fuel from draining back to the fuel pump, and a pressure relief valve 30 integrally connected with the check valve via a conduit 23.

  • Patent number: 6276342
    Abstract: A fuel supply system for a motor vehicle has two feed units arranged in a fuel tank. The feed units in each case feed fuel out of baffles to an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle and to suction jet pumps. This ensures a reliable supply of fuel to the internal combustion engine, even in the case of a very high fuel requirement and in the case of an angled design of the fuel tank.
