A fuel tank of thermoplastic material for motor vehicles comprising at least one line of thermoplastic material, which extends between at least two fixed connection points on the tank wall inside the tank, the fuel tank being distinguished by the fact that the line is supported at at least one location or over at least one portion between its connection points against the force of the weight acting in the fitted position to prevent sagging and that the line is formed and/or routed and/or suspended such that an increase in the length of the line brings about a compensating movement of the line transversely to the direction of the force of the weight.

Fuel tank of thermoplastic material and method for the production thereof

A misfuelling prevention device, a fuel tank and a vehicle are described. The misfuelling prevention device includes an elongated support element arranged inside a tubular element. A first end of the elongated support element is coupled to the tubular element and a second end of the elongated support element and a central section of the elongated support element are arranged such that they are spaced apart from an inner surface of the tubular element. A blocking element is arranged at the second end of the elongated support element, thereby preventing misfuelling.
