ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a venting valve for a fuel tank and includes a valve seat and a valve body which lies in sealing contact engagement therewith. The sealing surface of the valve seat faces toward the interior space of the tank in order to ensure an operationally-reliable venting even after long periods of operation without the danger of an outflow of fuel. The opening movement of the valve body is directed toward the interior space of the tank. A fine-porous air filter made of sinter material is mounted forward of the valve seat when viewed in flow direction toward the interior of the tank.
