In an arrangement for supplying an internal combustion engine with fuel and a method for servicing and repairing the arrangement wherein a number of components, that is, a fuel reservoir, a fuel pumping unit, a fuel filter, a fuel level sensor and line elements are arranged in a fuel container and the container has an access opening formed in a wall thereof and sealingly closed by a cover, at least the fuel reservoir and at least one of the line elements are firmly installed in the fuel container and for servicing or replacement only the other components are removed through the access opening after being disconnected from their support mounts and associated connecting lines.

Arrangement for supplying an internal combustion engine with fuel

A ventilation and/or a pressure-equalizing system for a fuel tank, in particular for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle, includes at least one aeration and/or de-aeration line leading into the fuel tank, via which the gases and/or vapors may be removed from or conducted into the fuel tank. A collection device for liquid fuel is coupled into the aeration and/or de-aeration line, the collection device including at least two chambers, of which one is used as a temporary storage device for liquid fuel and is connected to a return line into the fuel tank.

Ventilation and/or pressure-equalizing system for a fuel tank

The invention relates to a method for filling a fuel tank (,) with a filling conduit (,). The fuel flow entering the tank is directed by a through flow sensor (,) in order to control and monitor the filling process. A particularly suitable tank system (,) for implementation of said method comprises a fuel tank (,), a filling tube (,) surrounding a filling conduit (,) and discharging into said fuel tank, an adsorption filler (,) connected to the gas area (,) of the tank (,) and a through-flow sensor (,) which detects the flow of fuel in the filling tube (,).

Fuel tank system especially for motor vehicles and method for controlling and monitoring said system

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

A fuel tank arrangement for a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a fuel tank containing fuel therein and having a gas space disposed above the fuel, and a venting device connected to the fuel tank. The venting device includes an activated charcoal filter and a venting conduit connecting the gas space to the activated charcoal filter for establishing gas communication therebetween. A stop valve is disposed in the venting conduit and is adapted to open gas communication between the gas space and the activated charcoal filter during refueling. Moreover, a fuel separator is disposed in the venting conduit for separating fuel from a gas flow through the venting conduit thereby yielding separated fuel.

Venting device for vehicle fuel tanks

A deventilating device for motor vehicles is disclosed. The deventilating device allows, in the fuel tank and connected system parts, a limited overpressure which, on the one hand, is safe and, on the other hand, affords the possibility of checking the tightness of the system by on-board means specific to the vehicle.

Motor vehicle fuel supply system with fuel tank deventilating device

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.
