Abstract

In a fuel pump (9) with an adapter (12) there are provided latching means (16, 16′) disposed opposite one another and arranged at opposite ends of rocker elements (18, 18′) having a release mechanism (17, 17′) which can be actuated by hand. The rocker elements (18, 18′) are produced integrally with the adapter (12). By pressing together the release mechanism (17, 17′) the latching mechanism (16, 16′) are released from the fuel pump (9). The adapter (12) has a non-return valve (22) and/or a pressure-limiting valve (23). The fuel pump (9) can therefore be adapted to the particular application by simply exchanging the adapter (12).
