Abstract

The fuel supply has a fuel tank and fuel pump and/or fuel filter, fuel supply and return lines to the tank and/or engine and a housing. Valves (8-11) that are used to interrupt the flow of fuel in at least one of the fuel lines (4-7) in the event of a crash are mounted in the housing (2) of the fuel pump and/or fuel filter. The valves are attached to a housing lid (3) with line lead throughs.
