The present invention relates to a filler pipe and a fuel tank with a filler pipe comprising a pipe (1), one end of which is adapted to be inserted through an opening (2) in the tank wall and the other end of which is adapted to be sealed with a tank filler cap (10). Specifically the invention concerns fuel tanks of heavy vehicles such as lorries. Moreover the filler pipe is characterised in that the pipe (1) comprises radially projecting locking parts (4, 6), and that the opening comprises corresponding recesses (5) to allow, in one position, the insertion of some of the projecting parts (4) through the tank wall (3) while others of the projecting parts (6) arranged higher up are adapted to prevent the pipe from being inserted too far, the inserted parts (4), in a position turned away from the inserted position, preventing the pipe (1) from being removed, whereby a bayonet locking of the filler pipe to the tank wall is achieved. Moreover, the filler pipe comprises an outer locking ring (7) adapted to be arranged coaxially outside the pipe (1), the locking ring (7) extending between the tank wall (3) and the tank filler cap (10) when the pipe is fixed to the tank wall. <IMAGE> |
