摘要 |
The invention relates to a fuel tank (1) for a motor vehicle, in which at least two chambers (2, 3) are interconnected via a tank area having a smaller cross-section (4) while forming partial volumes of the tank that communicate with one another. In a saddle tank of this type, a fuel delivery unit (8) is arranged inside a first chamber (2), and a refueling vent valve (17) is provided inside a second chamber (3). Both chambers (2, 3) are connected to one another via a compensating line (10) according to the principle of communicating pipes. In addition, means are provided for venting the compensating line (10). The inventive fuel tank (1) is characterized in that only one refueling vent valve (17) is provided inside the second chamber (3) and that the compensating line (10) is designed such that a compensation of the levels of the intercommunicating chambers (2, 3) is possible only when the level of the second chamber (3) drops to that of the first chamber (2).
