  • Fuel tank and method for the mounting of lines in a fuel tank
    Patent number: 6138857
    Abstract: Lines to be mounted on a fuel tank are prestressed against an inside of the fuel tank by means of spring elements. The mounting of the lines thereby becomes very simple, particularly in the case of fuel tanks manufactured by the blowing method. Furthermore, fuel vapors are reliably prevented from escaping from the fuel tank.
