Abstract

Lines to be mounted on a fuel tank are prestressed against an inside of the fuel tank by means of spring elements. The mounting of the lines thereby becomes very simple, particularly in the case of fuel tanks manufactured by the blowing method. Furthermore, fuel vapors are reliably prevented from escaping from the fuel tank.
