The invention relates to a fuel tank having at least one filler pipe () enclosing a refueling duct (), at least one operational venting valve (), at least one refueling venting valve () and at least one venting line (), which is connected to a filler head () of the filler pipe (). The filler head () comprises a valve, which when refueling closes a flow path from the venting line () into the refueling duct (). One of outstanding features of the fuel tank is that the venting line () is embodied as a collective venting line for the refueling and operational venting and that in any switching position of the valve it communicates with a downstream fuel vapor filter () connected to the filler head ().

Fuel tank

A drop separator for the bleeding line of a fuel container, comprising a drop separator housing that is connected to a space surrounded by the filler tube of the fuel container, preferably directly to the refueling channel of the filler tube, and at least two bleeding line connections, wherein the housing is divided by at least one partition into at least two separate gas paths, wherein a first gas path is designed as a gas inlet channel and a second gas path as a gas outlet channel. The gas inlet channel is closed on the end face by a lid and communicates via a passage of a surrounding wall of the drop separator housing with the filler tube.
