A filler pipe for the fuel tank of a motor vehicle having an internally located closure flap which closes a filling aperture at the end region of an internally located housing part made from plastic and can be brought into its open position by insertion of a fuel-pump nozzle in order to fill the fuel tank. An elastomeric seal is arranged on the housing part acting between the housing part and the closure flap. The seal is applied to a seal support which is connected to the plastic housing to provide a seal both relative to the closure flap and relative to the housing part.
