Abstract
A motor vehicle tank comprises a main tank that includes at least one main extraction unit that has a main flow line for extracting fuel from the main tank; an auxiliary tank arranged adjacent to and connected with the main tank, the auxiliary tank including: an auxiliary extraction unit having an auxiliary flow line for extraction of fuel from the auxiliary tank, and a filler connection for direct filling of the auxiliary tank; a partition wall which separates the auxiliary tank from the main tank by a partition wall, the partition wall having a lower partition wall region without an opening in an installation position, and an upper partition wall region having at least one opening to form an overflow between the auxiliary tank and the main tank.
