ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank for vehicles, particularly motor vehicles, is provided with an operational ventilating system which is composed essentially of a vent outlet arranged in the area of an upper fuel tank wall, of an exterior air feeding and air removing pipe connected to the vent outlet, and of an activated-carbon filter connected behind. To prevent liquid fuel particles from entering the activated-carbon filter by way of the vent outlet, particularly during lateral accelerations, a device is disposed inside the fuel tank in front of the vent outlet, which device partitions off the vent outlet with respect to a direct action of liquid fuel particles.
