A fuel delivery unit for use within a vehicle fuel tank includes: a surge tank arranged on a wall of the fuel tank, a feed line extending from a region of the surge tank to a connector stub on the flange, and a wiring harness extending from the fuel pump to the flange. A flange-side holder forms a first force application point for fixing the wiring harness on a flange side, and a surge tank-side holder forms a second force application point for fixing the wiring harness on the surge tank side. The wiring harness, the flange-side holder and the surge tank-side holder together form a force absorber configured to protect the feed line and the connector stub during a vehicle impact by absorbing kinetic energy from the impact acting on the fuel delivery unit, thereby dissipating the kinetic energy.
