Abstract: The invention relates to a closure device for a container for liquid fuel, which irrespective of the orientation of the container ensures pressure equalization between a gas space of the container and the outside, furthermore preventing liquid from being unintentionally emitted and in addition facilitating liquid removal without having to remove the closure device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oil collecting arrangement for an internal-combustion engine having an oil collecting housing (2) arranged below a crankcase, which oil collecting housing (2) has at least two sections of different space depths, in a deeper space section (4), an oil scavenging line (8) being provided by means of which the lubricating oil is delivered to the consuming devices by way of a pump. It is suggested that, in the oil collecting housing (2), a separate insertion part (18) is fastened which, on the one hand, has an oil barrier (22, 28) aligned transversely to the longitudinal dimension of the oil collecting housing (4) (2), which oil barrier (22, 28) prevents a flowing back of the lubricating oil from the deeper space section (4) into the crank space and/or into the flatter space section (12) in the inclined position of the internal-combustion engine, and which, on the other hand, has oil return ducts (34, 38, 40) for the lubricating oil flowing back from the cylinder head.

Abstract: A sealing system for an internal-combustion engine is provided in which a lubricating-oil-carrying space particularly an oil catching space, is separated by wall elements from adjoining space sections, which wall elements have elastic sealing elements for sealing off the spaces. For the compensation of sealing gap tolerances, a sealing element is provided which has at least two sealing arms which come to rest on the space wall to be sealed off. Despite larger sealing gap tolerances, a secure oil-tight separation of spaces is thereby provided.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an oil collector housing positioned beneath a crankcase housing. A lubricating oil pump is positioned inside the oil collector housing, and the oil collector housing contains at least one oil-collecting chamber, into which an oil suction line leads from the lubricating oil pump, forcing the lubricating oil through the delivery side to consumers. A system for supplying lubricating oil to the drive shaft of at least one turbocharger is mounted on the internal combustion engine. The lubricating oil that is fed to the turbocharger is returned via oil lines to the oil-collecting chamber of the internal combustion engine. At least one ascending channel is integrated into the oil collector housing, via which the lubricating oil that has been suctioned off from the turbochargers is returned above the oil level in the oil collecting chamber.
