The invention relates to an independent wheel suspension for power driven rear wheel motor vehicles, having a wheel carrier and a lower and upper linkage for this wheel carrier. The suspension system has five individual links which are hinged at the wheel side to the wheel carrier and at the body side of the vehicle, with an upper linkage being formed by a rear transverse camber strut link, and a longitudinal tension strut link extending diagonally toward the front inside. The camber strut and the tension strut, as viewed in plan, having an imaginary intersecting point located between their ends and wherein, with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the linking point of the camber strut at the wheel carrier is located in front of the linking point of the tension strut and wherein a reversed arrangement exists on the body side.

A fuel feed pump arrangement which includes a housing serving for accommodating both an electric motor and a feed pump system coupled to the electric motor. A diaphragm is provided in the housing with the diaphragm maintaining a system pressure for a predetermined period of time after the drive motor of the pump system has been turned off.

A tank closure mechanism, especially for a fuel tank of an automotive vehicle, with a locking tube pertaining to the cap proper and including a pressure plate and a gasket. The locking tube is rotatable by rotating the cap housing during locking operation of the cap by a latch of a lock cylinder but remains stationary after an unlocking during a rotation of the cap housing. A clamping ring exerting a tightening clamp is rotatable together with the locking tube. A compression spring of a bayonet catch presses against the clamping ring with the spring being supported on the cap and the pressure plate. The locking tube and pressure plate are fashioned so as to be bi-partite and the pressure plate extends over the locking tube with a sliding fit or the like.
