  • Patent number: 8596486
    Abstract: A washing liquid tank for a vehicle, includes a vertically extending wall (1) that divides the tank into a first chamber (2) including at least one liquid filling opening (4) in the lower portion thereof, and a second chamber (3) including at least one pumping opening (5) in the lower portion thereof, the second chamber having a wall that is common with a reheating body (6), the first and second chambers communicating together through a communication opening (7) formed in the lower portion of the wall (1) in order to allow the filling of the second chamber (3). The tank is characterized in that the second chamber has a volume lower than that of the first chamber and in that the first and second chambers (2, 3) further communicate together via an air passage (8) provided at the upper portion of the second chamber (3).
