Abstract

A container is provided for a liquid operating medium of a motor vehicle. The container includes: i) an outer container which forms a container volume; ii) at least one heating device which is designed to thaw frozen operating medium, and iii) a partition which divides the container volume into a proximal region and a distal region. The proximal region is arranged closer to the at least one heating device than the distal region. The partition is designed to let through more operating medium between the proximal region and the distal region in the installation position of the container than in an oblique position of the container.
