Abstract
A misfuelling prevention device, a fuel tank and a vehicle are described. The misfuelling prevention device includes an elongated support element arranged inside a tubular element. A first end of the elongated support element is coupled to the tubular element and a second end of the elongated support element and a central section of the elongated support element are arranged such that they are spaced apart from an inner surface of the tubular element. A blocking element is arranged at the second end of the elongated support element, thereby preventing misfuelling.
