Abstract (en)
The assembly comprises a support structure (4) including an attachment portion (5) for fixing to the tank (1) in the vicinity of an opening (2) thereof, and a support portion (6) which is connected to the attachment portion (5) and to which the pump (7), the fuel filter (8), and the respective connecting pipes (12, 14) can be fixed beforehand so as to form a sub-assembly (30) which can be inserted in the tank (1) through the opening (2) and can adopt an inclined operative arrangement in which it does not interfere with the space to be operatively occupied by the level sensor (10). The attachment portion (5) defines a passageway (5c) which allows the level sensor (10) to be inserted and positioned in the tank (1) after the insertion and positioning of the sub-assembly (30). <IMAGE>
