Abstract

A feed unit, in particular for the feed of fuel, has an electric drive motor with a pump unit coupled with it, the pump unit being built of two housing parts and a pump wheel arranged between them. The two housing parts and the pump wheel are each developed as a casting or compression molding from a mixture of graphite and plastic. The end surfaces of the pump wheel and of the two housing parts which contact each other are roughened.
