Abstract: A method for purging a fuel tank includes providing a three-way valve connected to the fuel tank via a first purging line, connected to a second purging line opening into a suction duct and connected to a third purging line opening into an adsorption container. A first path can be released in the three-way valve, based on the pressure inside the fuel tank exceeding a first predetermined opening pressure inside the fuel tank and the engine being in operation, such that the fuel vapors are caused to be purge out of the fuel tank into the suction duct. A second path can also be released in the three-way valve, based on the pressure inside the fuel tank exceeding a second predetermined opening pressure inside the fuel tank and the engine being not in operation, such that the fuel vapors are caused to be purged out of the fuel tank into the adsorption container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fast-acting composition for preparing cold and hot drinks from drinking water, in particular coffee or tea. Starting from the disadvantages of the known prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide a fast-acting composition for preparing cold and hot drinks from drinking water which is simple to handle, has a uniformly constant action, excludes the risk of microbe formation and, after a relatively short treatment time of the drinking water, leads to a noticeable improvement in taste of the drink. For this, as a solution a composition is proposed which consists of cellulose fibers which are modified by chemical reaction with formation of phosphate ester groups and have an ion-exchange capacity of at least 50 mg of copper/g of dried fiber, this composition being contacted by immersion with the drinking water or brewing water at least briefly, for a period of a plurality of minutes.

Abstract: Filters and methods for producing filter paper or paper-like nonwoven materially consisting partially or wholly of fibrous cellulose containing material. The filters provided are characterized by high filtration capacity and are capable of absorbing and binding undesirable foreign and attendant substances in the filter medium. The cellulose containing material of the is at least partially carbamided with urea and phosphorylated with phosphoric acid or ammonium phosphate until a nitrogen content in the form of carbamide groups of 1 to 4% and a phosphorous content of 3 to 8% are reached.
