Abstract: A fuel tank for a vehicle includes a main tank comprising a first tank volume defined by an outside wall and an auxiliary tank extending from an aperture provided in the outside wall. The auxiliary tank is formed as a pocket-shaped continuation of the outside wall into the first tank volume bounded by the outside wall. The auxiliary tank forms a second tank volume which is separated from the first tank volume and opens into a filler neck which runs inside the first tank volume and emerges on the outside wall of the main tank.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle air filter system with pipe elements for feed and discharge of an air flow, particularly for an internal combustion engine. To remove water which is filtered out of the air flow, under the bottom of the housing of the air filter a tube element is attached. Since this assembly region is poorly accessible, there is the risk that the tube element will be kinked or pinched during installation and thus water cannot properly drain out. In order to enable smooth and reliable assembly of the tube element, the tube element according to the invention is attached to the pipe element by means of carrier elements. In the assembly of the pipe element the tube element is automatically located at the proper position in the installation space. Here it is protected against kinking by its connection to the pipe element.

Abstract: A pipe/hose connection includes a pipe/hose end attached exterior to a pipe socket, and a clamp securing the pipe/hose end on the pipe socket. The pipe/hose end has a radially inwardly protruding, circumferential first ring collar, and the pipe socket has an outwardly protruding circumferential second ring collar. The second circumferential ring collar extends along a first plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis of the pipe socket, whereas the first circumferential ring collar intersects at least at two locations with a second plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis of the pipe/hose end. The two ring collars are then not simultaneously in contact along their entire length when the first ring collar moves across the second ring collar when the pipe/hose end is attached on the pipe socket. The pipe/hose end can be secured on the pipe socket with a clamp.

Abstract: In a housing for receiving an air filter element 1 with a housing bottom 2 and a housing top 3, the air filter element 1 within the housing can be positioned between the first carrier element 8 which is located on the housing bottom 2, and a second carrier element 9 which is located on the housing top 3, by means of the first carrier element 8 and/or the second carrier element 9 a seal being implemented between the raw air space 5 and the clean air space 6. The housing bottom 2 and the housing top 3 and also the two carrier elements 8, 9 of the housing can have different dimensions to match various types of internal combustion engines.
