The invention relates to a method for producing a liquid con-tainer () for a motor vehicle, which is assembled from at least two shells (). Furthermore, the invention relates to a liquid container () for a motor vehicle.

Method for producing a liquid container, liquid container for a motor vehicle and injection molding tool

The present invention discloses an operating liquid container system comprising at least one operating fluid container, a quality and/or filling level sensor arranged in the operating liquid container, for determining at least one quality characteristic of the operating liquid contained in the operating liquid container and/or a filling level of the operating liquid container, and a display device arranged in a tank recess and/or tank flap of the operating fluid container system, wherein the display device is connected to the quality and/or filling level sensor by means of a data line for transmitting data from the quality and/or filling level sensor to the display device, wherein the data represents at least one quality characteristic of the operating liquid contained in the operating liquid container and/or the filling level of the operating liquid container.

Operating liquid container system for motor vehicles with improved misfuelling protection

The invention relates to an extrusion-blow-molded fuel tank () of thermoplastic material comprising a tank wall of a composite of various layers obtained in various production operations, at least one first layer comprising at least one shell-shaped supporting shell () and a second layer of a thermoplastic material forming an adhesive bond with the supporting shell (), and the supporting shell () having a greater strength than the second layer. The supporting shell () forms an inner layer of the tank and the second layer forms an outer skin of the tank, two supporting shells within the tank forming a supporting cage or a supporting housing.

Extrusion-blow-molded fuel tank of thermoplastic material and method for the production thereof

The present invention discloses an operating fluid container () made of thermoplastic material for a motor vehicle and a method for equipping an operating fluid container with a stiffening element (). The operating fluid container () here has the following features:

Operating fluid container having a stiffening element

The disclosure relates to a multi-chamber container made of thermoplastic plastic as a service-fluid container for a motor vehicle, which multi-chamber container comprises at least two chambers, which constitute separated volumes that are not in fluid connection with each other, at least not directly, and which are each designed to hold a different service fluid, wherein at least two surrounding walls of the chambers adjoin each other, the chambers are components of a continuous container body combination, the surrounding walls of at least two chambers that adjoin each other are connected to each other in a bonded manner by means of at least one material bridge or in a form-closed manner and/or by means of fasteners, and the connection is designed to independently release under the influence of deformation forces caused by impact such that the container body combination is divided into at least two separate container body parts or two container bodies under the influence of deformation forces caused by impact.

Multi-chamber container

The invention relates to a fuel tank of thermoplastic polymer for a motor vehicle, having at least one reinforcing element inside the fuel tank, the reinforcing element inside the fuel tank extending between opposing tank walls (), parts of the reinforcing element passing through the tank wall and parts of the reinforcing element engaging behind the tank wall from outside, the fuel tank being distinguished according to the invention in that the reinforcing element () is provided with at least one multipart fastening head (), which comprises a first closing means engaging through the tank wall () from inside and a second closing means engaging through the tank wall () from outside, which closing means are of mutually complementary construction.

Fuel tank of thermoplastic polymer for a motor vehicle and method for the production of a fuel tank

The invention relates to a container () of thermoplastic material with at least one support (), which is arranged in the interior of the container, extends between opposing container walls () and is anchored at each end to the container walls with a positive engagement and/or a material bond, the support () comprising at least one supporting strut () and the supporting strut () substantially absorbing a supporting load on the container walls () induced by negative pressure in the container, and a tensile force that is induced by positive pressure being absorbed by at least one tension-resistant bracing element in the form of a tension-resistant band () which extends between the container walls ().

Container of thermoplastic material

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a fuel tank on the basis of thermoplastic material, the method comprising the following method steps:

Method for manufacturing a fuel tank and fuel tank

The present invention relates to an operating fluid container () composed of thermoplastic for a motor vehicle, comprising a reinforcing element (), which is arranged between two container walls () of the operating fluid container () and is at least indirectly joined to the container walls (). The operating fluid container () according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the container walls () are joined to one another indirectly via the reinforcing element () by means of at least one joining element (-). In this arrangement, the joining element (-) comprises at least two material layers (-) joined to one another, wherein a joining force joining the two material layers () to one another is less than a joining force between the joining elements (-) and the container wall () and/or between the joining element (-) and the reinforcing element ().

Operating fluid container having a predetermined breaking point

A fuel vapor storage and recovery apparatus includes a fuel vapor storage canister, said fuel vapor storage canister comprising at least first and second vapor storage compartments filled with an absorbent material, for instance filled with activated carbon, at least a vapor inlet port, an atmospheric vent port and a purge port. Said fuel vapor storage canister defines an air flow path between said vapor inlet port and said atmospheric vent port during shut-off of the internal combustion engine of the vehicle. During purging cycles there is defined an air flow path between said atmospheric vent port and said purge port wherein said first and second vapor storage compartments are arranged in concentric relationship and wherein said first and second vapor storage compartments in flow direction are separated from each other by an air gap diffusion barrier.

Fuel vapor storage and recovery apparatus

A tank system for a motor vehicle is provided with at least one fuel tank, at least one connection, connecting conduit, or opening which is provided in the tank wall and which is closed by a closure, or at least one passage through the tank wall or through a closure. At least one cover is gas-tightly mounted on the outside to at least one region of the tank. The cover with the tank wall defines a space which is closed off with respect to the ambient atmosphere and within which is arranged the at least one connection, connecting conduit, opening, or passage.
