Fuel pump having electrically insulated bearings

A fuel delivery pump for delivering fuel, having an electric motor, comprising:

• a pump impeller that is driven by the electric motor;
• a pump stage, the pump impeller being arranged in the pump stage;
• a rotor being part of the electric motor;
• a shaft, the pump impeller connected to the shaft, and the rotor of the electric motor connected to the shaft such that rotational movement of the rotor is transmitted via the shaft to the pump impeller;
• and
• at least one axial bearing for supporting the shaft, the at least one axial bearing located in the pump stage;
• at least one pot-shaped electrical insulation element arranged between the at least one axial bearing and the pump stage, such that the at least one electrical insulation element electrically insulates the shaft from the pump stage;
• the at least one pot-shaped electrical insulation element further comprising:
• at least one sidewall in contact with the pump stage;
• and
• a lower sidewall in contact with the pump stage, the lower wall terminating into the at least one sidewall;
• wherein the at least one axial bearing is in contact with the at least one sidewall and the lower sidewall.
