A device for ventilating and venting a fuel tank of a motor vehicle, has a ventilating device which compensates the pressure in the fuel tank, a separating container for separating fuel from a gas contained in the fuel tank. The operating ventilating device is connected to the separating container, the ventilating device and the separating container being arranged in the fuel tank.

Device for ventilating and venting a fuel tank

In a fuel tank for motor vehicles including a tank vent with a venting valve, which automatically closes when the fuel in the tank reaches a predetermined level and when the vehicle is in an upside down position, the venting valve includes a vent closing member and a float structure engaging to the vent closing member and having a buoyancy, which is variable depending on the amount of fuel contained in the tank.

Fuel tank for motor vehicles

The invention relates to a fuel tank having two tank parts which are connected to each other. Allocated to one tank part is an accumulation vessel and to the other tank part is a fuel distributor which is connected to a fuel return line. Two feed lines which convey fuel into the accumulation vessel are connected to the distributor. Integrated into one feed line is an ejector which is provided in the bottom region of the tank space having the distributor. Interposed in the other feed line is an ejector which is provided in the tank part having the accumulation vessel. For the purpose of being able to connect the feed lines to the fuel distributor and accumulation vessel quickly and easily, the fuel tank has a respective tank opening which can be tightly closed by them. The flexibly constructed feed lines are to be installed in the tank with an excess length which makes it possible to pull their line end pieces out of the tank openings and, outside the fuel tank, to connect them to the accumulation vessel and the distributor respectively.
