Abstract
A tank device for storing a gaseous medium includes a valve device and a tank. The valve device includes a valve housing with a pilot valve element. The pilot valve element interacts with a first seal seat and thus forms a pilot valve, wherein the pilot valve element can be moved by a solenoid coil. Furthermore, the valve housing includes a main valve element which interacts with a second seal seat and thus forms a main valve. The pilot valve element additionally has a transverse bore perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tank device, said transverse bore opening into a transverse bore of the main valve element arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tank device. A driver element is at least partly arranged in the transverse bore of the pilot valve element and in the transverse bore of the main valve element.
