Abstract: The present invention proposes a tank, in particular a vehicle fuel tank, having a component (20) mounted therein. Such a tank comprises a tank wall (12) and a shaft (14) having a first end (18) and a second end (21). A base portion (16) is arranged on the first end (18) of the shaft (14), the base portion (16) comprising a weld area (22) on its surface facing the tank wall (12) and weld material (24) is arranged in the weld area (22) for welding the shaft (14) to the tank wall (12). A component (20) is mounted on the second end (21) of the shaft (14). According to an important aspect of the invention, the base portion (16) is wider than the weld area (22), and a circumferential area (26) of the base portion (16) is configured so as to, when mounted to the tank wall (12), at least partially rest on the tank wall (12).

Abstract: A liquid/vapor separator assembly for a fuel tank of a vehicle includes a liquid separator plate adapted to be disposed within and secured to a portion of the fuel tank to form a liquid trap therebetween. The liquid/vapor separator assembly also includes a standpipe extending from the liquid separator plate and communicating with the liquid trap to allow fuel vapors to flow to a vapor canister. The liquid/vapor separator assembly further includes at least one valve mounted to the liquid separator plate to allow fuel from the liquid trap to return to an interior chamber of the fuel tank.
