Abstract

In a fuel feed unit (3) for a motor vehicle, a suction jet pump (6) provided for filling a baffle (2) of a fuel tank (1) is manufactured in one piece with a holding part (4) for a fuel pump (5). The holding part (4) is of pot-shaped design for receiving the fuel pump (5) and carries a fuel filter (7) on a vertical wall (8). Fuel thereby passes to the suction jet pump (6) immediately after the fuel pump (5) has been started up.
