  • Patent number: 8534316
    Abstract: A reservoir structure of a fuel suction unit or pump module for a diesel vehicle is provided. The reservoir structure includes a reservoir 10 having a bottom surface 14. A primary opening 12 is provided in the bottom surface for permitting fuel to pass from a fuel tank of the vehicle into the reservoir. A secondary opening 16 is provided in the reservoir 10 that is elevated from the bottom surface 14. A valve member 18 is associated with the secondary opening 16. The valve member 18 is constructed and arranged to close the secondary opening under certain pressure conditions in the reservoir and, under pressure conditions in the reservoir different from the certain pressure conditions, to permit fuel to enter the reservoir through the secondary opening in the event the primary opening is substantially blocked.

  • Patent number: 8065989
    Abstract: In a fuel delivery device (1) for supplying an internal combustion engine (3) of a motor vehicle with fuel from a fuel tank (2), a pressure sensor (14) is arranged within the fuel tank (2) and is connected to a section, which is guided within the fuel tank (2), of a feed line (6). In this way, the pressure sensor (14) is remote from the internal combustion engine (3) and is therefore subjected to only very low thermal and mechanical loads. The fuel delivery line (1) is therefore of particularly cost-effective design.

  • Publication number: 20040108011
    Abstract: A hose for a fuel feed device of a motor vehicle having a wall (3, 7, 11, 16) manufactured from electrically nonconductive plastic and having an electrical conductor (4, 6, 12-14) that can be connected to a ground (5) of the motor vehicle to discharge electrical charges generated when fuel flows through the hose.
