Abstract
A fuel tank (1) has an ejector pump (9) arranged inside it. This ejector pump (9) is preloaded against an inner wall (10) of the fuel tank (1) by means of a flexurally elastic supporting arm (8) and is thus fixed. This allows the ejector pump (9) to be inserted into the interior of the fuel tank (1) without problems through an opening (3) together with a fuel feed unit (4). This considerably simplifies the fitting of the ejector pump (9) and, in particular, there is no need for another fitting opening in the fuel tank (1) to enable the ejector pump (9) to be fixed.
