Abstract
The present invention relates to a fuel-drawing assembly for a motor vehicle tank, the assembly comprising a main pump (110) associated with a pressure regulator (170) and a reserve bowl (150) fed by a jet pump (160) and from which the main pump (110) draws fuel, the assembly being characterized by the fact that the jet pump (160) is integrated in the outlet from the pressure regulator (170), and that the jet pump and regulator (160 and 170) subassembly formed in this way is secured to a module (100) comprising the main pump (110) and the reserve bowl (150), a portion of the housing (171) for the pressure regulator (170) being integrated in the wall constituting the reserve bowl (150).
