The invention relates to a liquid container (1) for a motor vehicle, in particular a fuel container (1), having at least one filler tube (4) and having means for operational and filling ventilation, comprising at least one operational ventilation line (7) which is connected to an equalizing volume of the liquid container (1) and at least one filling ventilation opening (9) which opens into the equalizing volume. The fuel container (1) according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that the operational ventilation opening (7) is connected to the filler tube (4) outside the container volume, in a manner which forms a siphon (8), and that the connection of the operational ventilation line (7) to the filler tube (4) is arranged in such a way that liquid is collected in the siphon (8) during each filling operation and closes the operational ventilation line (7).
Liquid container for a motor vehicle, in particular a fuel container, having at least one filler tube and having means for operational and filling ventilation, comprising at least one operational ventilation line which is connected to an equalizing volume of the liquid container, and at least one filling ventilation line, wherein the operational ventilation line is connected to the filler tube outside the container volume, in a manner which forms a siphon and wherein the connection of the operational ventilation line to the filler tube is situated below the outlet-side end of a nozzle which is pushed into the filler tube such that liquid is collected in the siphon during each filling operation and closes the operational ventilation line, characterized in that the filling ventilation line opens into the equalizing volume.
