  • Patent number: 8844754
    Abstract: A fuel tank made of plastic, in the interior of which an insert (2) is located, wherein the insert should enclose a space (3), wherein the fuel tank should offer the greatest possible economy of space, and the fuel tank and the insert should have a simple form. For this purpose, a box made of plastic and open at the top is attached to the inside of the upper wall (1) of the fuel tank as an insert (2), wherein the box forms a closed space (3) together with the wall (1) of the tank, wherein the insert (2) comprises a bottom (5) and side walls (6, 7, 8, 9), the upper edges of which are connected in a bonded manner to the wall (1) of the tank. The insert (2) contains inner parts (20-26) that are integral therewith and has at least one fitting (13-16) on the side walls (6, 7, 8, 9) for connecting a pipe line.

  • Patent number: 8353322
    Abstract: In a tank system, a venting line (6) connects the fuel tank to an activated carbon filter, and a recirculating line (10) opens into a filler head (3). In order to prevent the penetration of liquid fuel into the activated carbon filter, to permit the seal to be checked by applying a partial vacuum and to provide a filler head which can be manufactured inexpensively, an insertion body (22) is provided which forms a funnel (23) which is adjoined by a neck (24) which accommodates the fuel nozzle, which insertion body (22) has, in addition to the neck (24), two vertical blind holes (31, 32), open at the bottom, and a transverse duct (33) which connects the latter, wherein the first blind hole (31) is connected to the recirculating line (10), and a float (40), which clears or closes off the connection to the transverse duct (33), is guided in the second blind hole (32).

  • 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: 7204238
    Abstract: A fuel tank with ventilation system and activated carbon filter which, on the one hand, is connected by a first line (22) to the fuel tank and by a second line (25) to an internal combustion engine, and, on the other hand, by a third line (26) to the atmosphere, should have as simple and compact a ventilation system as possible, which fulfills all functions in full measure. To this end, a controlled two-way valve unit (23) is provided, whereof the first path connects the first line (22) to the third line (26) and the second path connects the second line (25) to the third line (26), and an electronic control unit (28) is provided, which on the input side is connected to a refueling sensor (7) and to a liquid level sensor (13) and on the output side is connected to the controlled two-way valve unit (23).

  • 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.
