Abstract
The invention relates to an extractor device for an aqueous fluid from a storage container of a motor vehicle wherein a lengthwise-extended heating element is arranged next to a venting tube. The venting tube connects a catch container to a chamber arranged above the fluid level in the storage container. In case of icing, a connection is created early from the catch container to the chamber. A pump can thus convey the fluid out of the catch container early.
