Abstract

A fuel container for a motor vehicle has a structural unit that includes of a separator and an activated carbon filter that forms a ventilation device. The structural unit is attached in a chamber for the collection of fuel and has common container for the retention of the separator and the activated carbon filter. The container is mounted on a fuel conveyance unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel tank having: a cavity for collecting fuel of a motor vehicle; a ventilator; an activated carbon filter and a fuel delivery unit for conveying fuel, wherein the ventilator has a function for separating liquid fuel and Separator for gas phase separation. Background technique [0002] Fuel tanks of this type usually have a large number of breather lines which are arranged separately on the outside of the fuel tank and are known from practice. A separator for separating liquid fuel from gas is often arranged on the fuel filling pipe of the fuel tank. The activated carbon filter is usually arranged on or in the fuel tank and is connected to the separator via an additional breather line. [0003] Disadvantages of this known fuel tank are: its very large volume; and the arrangement of the components of the venting device outside the fuel tank promotes leakage of fuel into the external environment.
