A device used to retain a fuel pump in a fuel container of a motor vehicle, which includes a pump holder that is made entirely of plastic by injection moulding. Retaining devices, which is used to join the pump holder to the fuel pump and to a baffle pot, are connected to each other by arms that are oriented away from each other. The arms, which are orientated away from each other, form a cardanic frame that dampens vibrations from the fuel pump.
