摘要

The fuel tank has at a geodetically high lying point a bursting or melting disc installed gastight in a wall of the tank and which enables an overpressure relief by bursting or melting if a defined excessive pressure and/or temperature is detected. The bursting disc or melting disc may be installed in the filler neck (18) of the tank. The bursting disc may also act as a melting disc, and the disc may be produced from a metal solder with a melting temperature of less than 200 degrees C.
