Abstract

The invention relates to a device for ducting electrical lines through the wall of a fuel tank (1), whereby a steel support (3) is materially connected to the wall of the fuel tank (1). Contacts (4) are introduced through the support (3). The contacts (4) have a sleeving (5) made from glass or ceramic. A leakage of fuel vapors from the fuel tank (1) is thus almost completely excluded.
