Abstract
A fuel tank ( ) possesses, for the introduction of fuel, a filler pipe ( ) which is led through an orifice ( ) of the fuel tank ( ) with all-round clearance. The orifice (6) is sealingly closed by means of a sleeve ( ) bearing against the fuel tank ( ) and against the filler pipe ( ). The orifice ( ) can thereby be made relatively large, so that it can be additionally used also as a service or assembly orifice after the sleeve ( ) has been removed. The number of orifices necessary on the fuel tank ( ) can be reduced as a result, so that both the maximum filling quantity and the permeation tightness can be increased.
