Supporting element having a supporting surface for supporting a fuel feed unit, and fuel feed unit

摘要

A supporting element ( 9 ) for supporting a fuel feed unit ( 2 ) on the bottom of a fuel tank has a curved element ( 13 ) having a supporting surface ( 17 ). The curved element ( 13 ) is fastened to the lower side of the fuel feed unit ( 2 ) and is manufactured as a single piece with a coarse filter ( 19 ). Fuel sucked up through the coarse filter ( 19 ) is guided over the curved element ( 13 ), so that dirt particles are retained at a tangential edge ( 14 ) of the supporting element ( 9 ).
