  • Patent number: 7721775
    Abstract: A cap-free filler neck for a motor vehicle tank comprises a tubular part, which is connected to the tank, and an insert, which insert comprises a funnel part with a throat and a partition part adjoining the throat at the bottom. The upper edge zone of the funnel part and the partition part adjoin the tubular part in a sealing manner. The partition part has a throughflow opening which is closed in a sealing manner by a flap, which can be locked in a closed position, and can be pivoted into an open position counter to the force of a spring by a fuel nozzle. So that, despite the tight closure, rainwater which has penetrated can flow away, the space delimited by the tubular part, the funnel part and the partition part can be brought into connection with the environment via an opening in the tubular part, which opening can be closed by a valve, which is accommodated in said space, by the introduction of the fuel nozzle.

  • Patent number: 7063226
    Abstract: A fuel tank with an opening, on which a lid is mounted in a removable manner by means of thread or bayonet, is intended to provide a sustained and sealed closure under all conditions. For this purpose, two sealing rings are arranged between the sealing surfaces, the inner one being liquid-tight and the outer one being made of an elastomer with high permeation resistance. The sealing surfaces within the outer sealing ring have a narrow gap leading as far as the outer sealing ring, and the fuel tank has a reinforcement surrounding the opening.

  • Patent number: 6736164
    Abstract: A pressure control valve for a fuel tank with a spring-loaded valve body is intended to combine a maximum sealing effect with an unobstructed and reliable response. This is achieved in that the valve body comprises a foot part and a plate, the foot part being guided displaceably in the valve housing in the axis of symmetry, the plate having, in a staggered manner, a first groove and a second groove for holding a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring, the two sealing rings bearing against the sealing surface when the valve is closed and being flowed around in series when the valve is open.

  • Publication number: 20030094455
    Abstract: A closure stopper having a seal for a filler neck has first locking faces and a first sealing face, and the closure stopper has second locking faces and a second sealing face. The functions of the sealing ring and of the locking device are not impaired by the effects of temperature because (a) the smallest radius of the first sealing face is larger than the largest radius of the second sealing face, and (b) the sealing ring is a resilient circular ring with a first and a second sealing surface, of which, when the closure stopper is inserted, one surface bears against the first sealing face and the other face bears against the second sealing face. The sealing ring has a core made of resilient steel.

  • Patent number: 6446686
    Abstract: A filler pipe for the fuel tank of a motor vehicle having an internally located closure flap which closes a filling aperture at the end region of an internally located housing part made from plastic and can be brought into its open position by insertion of a fuel-pump nozzle in order to fill the fuel tank. An elastomeric seal is arranged on the housing part acting between the housing part and the closure flap. The seal is applied to a seal support which is connected to the plastic housing to provide a seal both relative to the closure flap and relative to the housing part.

  • Patent number: 6360765
    Abstract: A metal fuel tank (1) with two tank shells (1a, 1b) which are welded together, an electrically driven fuel supply unit (2) inside the tank, and also with lead-in ducts for at least one metal fuel line (3) and for a connection device for supplying electricity to the fuel supply unit (2). The tank (1) is produced in such a way as to mount the fuel supply unit (2) from inside the tank (1) before the tank shells (1a, 1b) are welded together, and to have the lead-in ducts running through at respectively separated points through the tank shells (1a, 1b) which are created using gas-tight means of connection.
