Abstract

The invention relates to a tank for storing a reducing agent, in particular a liquid reducing agent. The reducing agent reduces the nitrogen oxides from the waste gases of the internal combustion engine to nitrogen and water. The tank includes an external container in which an internal container is accommodated. A heating element is provided in the internal container and the liquid reducing agent can be removed by a removal device. The internal container is connected to the external container in such a way that the liquid reducing agent can flow out from the internal container into the external container.
