Abstract
A fastening element (50) secures a subassembly (20) to a body (2). With the fastening device set forth, an elastic prestressing of at least one flex region lateral to the securing direction assures a reliable electrical connection between the subassembly (20) and the fastening element (50). As a result, it is possible to simply and easily connect the subassembly (20) to a definite electrical potential by means of the fastening element (50). The fastening device is particularly provided for a fuel delivery system of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
