Abstract

A fuel delivery unit for a motor vehicle, wherein a swirl pot has a base formed from an upper part and a lower part, and an outer wall connected to the base, forming a seal. The upper part and the lower part bound fuel-delivering regions of a suction jet pump and of a section of a feed line. This arrangement allows the fuel delivery unit to be produced at particularly low cost.
