The invention relates to a fluid container for a motor vehicle, having a container wall that bounds a storage volume for storing liquid with respect to an environment, a heating element that is arranged in the storage volume, and a housing, wherein the housing encloses the heating element in a liquid-tight manner with respect to the supply volume.

Fluid container for a motor vehicle

An operating fluid tank for a motor vehicle, in particular for storing an aqueous additive, comprising: a tank wall made of a thermoplastic material, wherein the tank wall has a top, a bottom and side walls, and the tank wall delimits a tank volume, wherein the tank volume has a height, a depth and a width; and at least one electrically operated heating device having one or more heating elements, the heating element being inserted into an outer depression of the tank wall, or into an outer recess or opening in the tank wall, or into an inner structure that is integrally formed with the tank wall and that extends into the tank volume, and said heating element extending over at least one third of the height of the tank volume and being electrically contacted outside the tank volume.

Operating fluid tank

The invention relates to a line termination element () for a ventilation outlet of a fluid container (), having a main body () which is formed as a closure element for a free end () of the ventilation outlet and which is cross-sectionally matched to the cross section of the ventilation outlet, comprising at least one flow passage as an insect barrier, which flow passage is smaller than a mouth cross section () of the ventilation outlet, and also at least one valve body (), which, in a first position, closes off the mouth cross section () of the ventilation outlet and, in a second position, opens up the mouth cross section () of the ventilation outlet.

The invention relates to a storage tank () in a motor vehicle for receiving an aqueous urea solution for the SCR of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas. The storage tank () comprises a tank body which forms a storage volume () for the urea solution. The storage tank () furthermore comprises a filling pipe for filling the storage volume () and means for venting the storage volume () during the refuelling, wherein the filling pipe () has a filling head () at a remote end, and the filling head () forms an orifice stub (). The orifice stub () defines an orifice () for receiving a fuel pump nozzle. Said orifice stub furthermore has an external thread for receiving a complementary union thread of a refuelling cylinder for refuelling by the gas displacement method. The orifice stub forms at least one secondary air opening when the refuelling cylinder is attached, and therefore, when a refuelling cylinder is attached, a sealing seat is bridged by the refuelling cylinder and refuelling by the gas displacement method is possible even if counterflow venting through the filling tube () does not take place.
