Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03074863A1] The invention relates to a fuel delivery unit (2) that is disposed in the fuel tank (1) of a motor vehicle. Said delivery unit comprises a level sensor (13) that detects when the amount of fuel in a baffle pot (3) falls below a minimum amount. When the fuel in the baffle pot (3) falls below a defined minimum, the supply of power to a delivery pump (4) that is driven by an electromotor is interrupted, thereby preventing the delivery pump (4) from delivering air when the baffle pot (3) is empty.
