Abstract

A delivery device for the fuel of an internal combustion engine has a fuel tank (4) from which at least one fuel pump (14, 18) delivers fuel via a fuel supply line (10) and via at least one fuel filter (12, 16) to a fuel consumer (2). The consumer (2) is connected to the fuel tank (4) via a fuel return line (20). A control device (24) is connected between the supply line (10) and the return line (20). The control device establishes a fuel-conveying connection (80) between the return line (20) and the supply line (10) when the temperature in the fuel tank (4) falls below a predeterminable threshold temperature and at a predeterminable threshold pressure in the return line (20).
