Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fuel tank having a module pot, which forms a first separate fuel reservoir for a fuel pump arranged inside the fuel tank. To prevent a gap in delivery of fuel to supply the first fuel reservoir in certain operating conditions, in particular when there is persistent lateral acceleration, according to the invention, a second separate fuel reservoir arranged separately from the first fuel reservoir inside the fuel tank is proposed, such that fuel is transferred from the second fuel reservoir into the first fuel reservoir at least when a predetermined acceleration level acting on the fuel tank is exceeded.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for supplying fuel to a fuel pump arranged in a first separate fuel reservoir in a fuel tank, wherein the first separate fuel reservoir is supplied with fuel continuously by means of a first feed pump, the method having the following steps:\n providing a second separate fuel reservoir, from which a liquid line leads to the first separate fuel reservoir, continuously filling the second separate fuel reservoir with fuel, utilizing a centrifugal force on the fuel tank for conveying fuel out of the second fuel reservoir into the first fuel reservoir when the supply of fuel to the first separate fuel reservoir by means of the feed pump is interrupted because of a low fuel level in the fuel tank, the centrifugal force due to a persistent longitudinal or lateral acceleration of the vehicle equipped with the fuel tank.
