Abstract

An arrangement for forwarding fuel from a fuel tank to an internal combustion engine includes a fuel-forwarding device having a suction side and an elevated pressure side. An inlet conduit connects the suction side with the fuel tank, while a fuel-forwarding conduit forwards the fuel from the elevated pressure side. A fuel filter housing for accommodating a fuel filter surrounds the fuel-forwarding device. The fuel filter housing is connected with the fuel-forwarding device in an electrically conductive manner. One of the fuel filter housing and the fuel-forwarding device is connected to a location that is at a predetermined electrical potential.
