Abstract
In the case of a fuel tank () for a motor vehicle having a plurality of surge chambers (') for collecting fuel, two surge chambers (′) are closed in a manner essentially forming a seal and are connected to each other. Fuel conducted by a pressure regulator () and by suction jet pumps (′) into the surge chambers (′) is distributed to the surge chambers (′) as required. When the surge chambers (′) are completely filled, a pressure is produced, as a result of which a further filling by the suction jet pumps (′) is avoided.
