ABSTRACT:
A device for a fuel tank for a car with a main fuel tank, comprising a filling tube, a ventilation box, and a piping system leading from the filling tube to the main tank. A reserve tank permanently built into the car is located within the piping system. The reserve tank has an upper wall and a wall with an opening therein. The reserve tank communicates with the filling tube. A pipe protrudes into the reserve tank and has at one end an upwardly open rim, whereby the height of the upper rim determines the volume of gasoline reserve inside the reserve tank. The pipe travels via the opening through the wall of the reserve tank, and forms at its other end the inlet to the main tank. The ventilation box is located at a point above the upper wall of the reserve tank. A by-pass hose by-passes the opening, and has an upper end which leads into a wall area of the reserve tank, and a lower end which leads to a point downstream of the opening. A valve is provided on the by-pass hose, which has its opening and closing means, which automatically re-adjust to a closed position.
