Abstract
A composite compressed gas tank has an outer shell and a liner. The liner is made of a light metal, in particular, aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The gas tank has an in-feed and discharge port, in which is inserted a closing element having at least one channel. The closing element is connected directly or indirectly to the liner by a welded joint, and a steel material connecting line is connected to the channel or channels. A transition element has a first end segment made of a light metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and is welded either to the liner or to the closing element if made of a light metal. The other end segment of the transition element is made of a steel material and is welded either to the closing element, or to the connecting line if made of a steel material.
