Abstract
A blanking cover for the filler neck of a motor vehicle fuel tank has a grip protruding from the blanking cover body so as to ensure that reliable filler neck sealing is maintained in the case of a crash when a collision occurs between the grip and a body part. The grip can be released from the blanking cover body under the action of crash forces.
