Abstract
To guard against electrostatic discharge in a pressure regulator, a flange of a fuel delivery module for connecting a tank with a fuel feed line of an engine, having a pressure regulator for regulating the pressure in the fuel feed line, and having at least one hookup for an external electrical potential, is characterized in that the flange is embodied in at least some portions of weakly electrically conductive material, in such a way that the hookup is connected conductively with the pressure regulator via the weakly electrically conductive material.
