Abstract
In a fuel tank ( ) for a motor vehicle, a cap ( ) which closes off an installation opening ( ) has a metal insert ( ). The metal insert ( ) has a pressure-exerting surface ( ) which faces toward an edge ( ) which laterally delimits the installation opening ( ). This construction prevents settling of the material, which in the long term leads to leaks from the fuel tank ( ).
