Abstract
A passenger motor vehicle () has a passenger compartment () and a fuel tank module () is in the passenger compartment (). The module () has first and second chambers (). The first chamber () holds a tank bladder and a catch tank () is arranged within the tank bladder. The second chamber () holds a fuel pump unit (). The module () is sealed off from remaining areas of the passenger compartment (), and fuel lines to the module () and from the module () to the internal combustion engine are arranged outside the passenger compartment (). Thus, a high level of safety for the vehicle occupant is ensured despite the accommodation of the fuel module in the passenger compartment, and substantially complete emptying of the fuel in the fuel module is possible.
