ABSTRACT:
In a fuel container (1) for a motor vehicle having a plurality of chambers (2, 4), a suction jet pump (18, 19) with a filling level sensor (11, 12) is arranged in each of the individual chambers (2, 4). A valve (24, 25) is arranged in a propellant line (20, 21) leading to the suction jet pump (18, 19). When a chamber (2, 4) is virtually empty, the supply of fuel to the suction jet pump (18, 19) is disabled and an unnecessary movement of the fuel is thus avoided.
