To create a valve for aerating and ventilating a tank comprising a closing element, which is fixed against a valve seat in a closed state so as to form a seal and which is lifted out of the valve seat in an open state, wherein provision is made for a blocking element, which can be moved by means of the force of gravity, by means of which the closing element can be fixed at least in the closed state, which overcomes the disadvantages of the state of the art, which ensures a reliable function even in response to a use under rough conditions with impact loads and which is designed in a simple manner, it is proposed for the blocking element to be accommodated on the closing element so as to be movable.
