According to the invention said connecting device (1) comprises a tubular member (10) It provided to be inserted into the liquid tank (2), said tubular member (10) having a first end portion (100) and a second end portion (101) provided to constitute a swirl pot (4), and a flange (11) located on the external part of the tubular member (10), a surface (110) of the flange (11) being provided to be welded to an external surface of a tank wall (2), the connecting device (1) comprising a connecting means (12) on the first end portion (100) of the tubular member (10), said first end portion (100) being located on the tubular member (10) relative to the flange (11) on the other side of the flange surface (110) provided to be welded to the liquid tank (2), said connecting means (1) being provided for the fixing of the Liquid Delivery Module (3) to the tubular member (10), the second end portion (101) of the tubular member (10) comprising an opening (1010) provided to allow entry of the liquid in the tubular member (10), the first end portion (100) comprising an opening (1000) provided for the insertion of the Liquid Delivery Module (3).

A motorized vehicle tank, having a first tank shell and a second tank shell, where the first tank shell and the second tank shell between them define at least one section of a tank volume of the motorized vehicle tank, where the first tank shell and the second tank shell are connected with each other, where at least one tank shell out of the first and the second tank shell is a multicomponent tank shell which exhibits a barrier foil and at least area-wise an inner wall section injected by injection-molding onto the internal side of the barrier foil facing towards the tank volume and/or an outer wall section injected by injection-molding onto the external side of the barrier foil facing away from the tank volume; the motorized vehicle tank exhibits in at least one tank wall section formed from the multicomponent tank shell an eversion formed integrally at the barrier foil, which projects relative to the tank wall region surrounding it.

A pressurized gas tank for a motor vehicle includes a cylindrical axially extending housing with two end pieces axially connected thereto connected together by one or more tie rods configured for axial transmission of tensile force. The tie rods include an axially continuous through-channel configured to be connected to a vehicle cooling system including a circulating liquid coolant to cool the pressurized gas at least during refueling of the pressurized gas tank.

The present invention relates to an integrated anti-siphon fuel filler neck assembly that includes wedge shaped apertures and a side wall that includes side wall apertures connected to the wedge shaped apertures, wherein the wedge shaped apertures and the side wall apertures are sized to prevent a siphon hose from passing there through.

A liquid tank for a liquid system of a vehicle, comprising a tank housing for storage of a liquid of the liquid system, wherein the tank housing is designed as multiple shells and has at least two tank housing shells that are joined to one another, and at least one flow passage of the liquid system, which flow passage is integrated in the tank housing. At least one of the at least one flow passages integrated in the tank housing is formed by two joined tank housing shells of the at least two tank housing shells.

A motor vehicle tank that includes a tank container formed by a tank wall, and a holding element to fasten a component to the tank wall at an interior of the tank container. The holding element has at least one attachment point for fastening the holding element to the tank wall, at least one fastening element for fastening the component to the holding element, and a plurality of spring elements arranged between the at least one attachment point and the fastening element to facilitate fastening of the component to the tank wall in a spring-elastically decoupled manner.
