Abstract
A method for fastening a component to a lower internal wall of a fuel tank includes providing the tank with a fastening point close to the opening of the tank and located on an upper internal wall of the tank, and with one or more reliefs. The method also includes inserting the component into the tank via the opening, and the component is positioned on the lower internal wall with the aid of the one or more reliefs, and creating a mechanical connection between the fastening point and the component with the aid of a support. A fastening ring or disc is welded to the upper internal wall of the tank and is provided with one or more reliefs that enable the rapid and detachable fastening of a part provided with one or more complementary reliefs.
