Abstract
A fuel delivery unit for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The fuel delivery unit has a fuel pump (5) which is clamped in between a retaining part (1) and an elastically configured pump-retaining means (6) which is clipped on the retaining part (1). The retaining part (1) is open toward one side, so that the fuel pump (5) can be fitted once the delivery unit has been preassembled. It is thus possible to replace the fuel pump (5) in the case of a defect.
