Dashpot for fuel tanks

Dashpot for fuel tanks, having an upper wall which closes off the dashpot at a top area thereof, a gas separation space which has lateral wall parts and a lower fuel guide surface which is connected to a vent outlet opening above a maximum fuel level provided in the fuel tank, fuel means for returning fuel having gas bubbles therein to said gas separation space via a fuel return line, said dashpot having an inlet opening near a base wall thereof and via which fuel can be drawn off into a dashpot interior from a supply of fuel present in the fuel tank for degassing thereof in said pot interior and subsequent discharge from the pot interior, an injector nozzle utilizing the returning fuel to generate an ejector jet for drawing off the fuel from the fuel tank into the dashpot interior through the inlet opening, wherein the gas separation space is separated from the dashpot interior and wherein a degassing line means leads away from the gas separation space for discharging bubbles in the returning fuel into the fuel tank through the vent outlet opening at a point above the maximum fuel level of the fuel in the tank, said degassing line means being connected to a vent inlet opening provided in an upper wall of the dashpot interior, and wherein the injector nozzle is connected to the gas separation space for providing the returning fuel for the ejector jet.
