The present disclosure is related to a method and an assembly for delivering fuel in a fuel tank (10), wherein the fuel tank comprises at least a first chamber (12) having a module pot (18) disposed therein and at least a first pump (30) adapted to deliver fuel from the first chamber to the module pot, and wherein a fuel pump (20) for delivering fuel to an engine is disposed within the module pot. In order to minimize the duty cycle of the pumps and therefore the energy consumption, it is proposed according to the present disclosure that a sensor device (22) is used to detect a predetermined minimum fill level in the module pot, wherein the pump disposed in the first chamber is activated when the minimum fill level is reached and is deactivated after a predetermined time interval or when a predetermined higher fill level in the module pot is reached.
