An energy storage arrangement for supplying electric power, in particular in a motor vehicle, includes at least a first energy storage module and a second energy storage module mounted on top of the first energy storage module. Each energy storage module has two end plates and a plurality of storage cells tensioned between the end plates. At least one end plate of the first energy storage module is secured by at least one first screw, and at least one end plate of the second energy storage module is secured by at least one second screw. An internal thread is formed in the screw head of the first screw, and the second screw is screwed into the screw head of the first screw.

Energy storage arrangement

A known fuel tank for a motor vehicle, in which an expansion tank is arranged outside the fuel tank, requires a relatively large space. A fuel tank for a motor vehicle which requires little space is provided by having the expansion tank installed inside the fuel tank, and by having all valves for venting the fuel tank, for limiting a filling level, for controlling a limit pressure defined in the fuel tank, and/or for protecting against leakage in the event of a rollover arranged on the expansion tank.
