A vehicle component for a motor vehicle includes a coupling device including two couplable coupling elements configured to provide, in a coupled state, a fuel-tight connection of two fuel-conducting lines. One of the coupling elements is in a form of a metallic female element which is fixedly connectable to one of the two lines, and an other one of the coupling elements is in a form of a metallic male element which is fixedly connectable to an other one of the two lines. The male element, for coupling purposes, is insertable into the female element, wherein, in the coupled state, an axially extending overlap section with at least one radial seal device is formed between the female element and the male element. A securing device is configured to secure the coupling elements in the coupled state against inadvertent release from one another.

Vehicle component and motor vehicle

A pressure tank system for a motor vehicle has a fuel tank () operated in a differential pressure range between a low pressure and a high pressure. To ensure a simple construction and can be produced cost-effective construction, the low pressure is between ambient pressure minus 50 hectopascals ambient pressure and plus 50 hectopascals.
