Abstract
A method is provided for producing a tank, in particular a motor vehicle tank, for storing a fuel in a low-temperature state. The tank has an inner tank receiving the fuel, an outer skin surrounding the inner tank and an insulating layer arranged between the inner tank and the outer skin. The method i) introduces fuel into the inner tank, a temperature of 30° C. to 120° C., preferably of 70° C. to 85° C., being obtained by the fuel in the inner tank, and ii) generates negative pressure in an insulating layer arranged between the inner tank and the outer skin.
