Abstract
In the case of a fuel tank for a motor vehicle, a filling pipe (2), which is welded to a tank chamber (1), has a section (3) provided for the separation. The section (3) provided for the separation is adjoined by regions for the attachment of a connecting part. This enables the tank chamber (1) to be taken out of the motor vehicle and to be subsequently refitted without removing the entire filling pipe (2).
