Fuel is filled into the filler pipe and flows through a non-return valve into the tank.

At the top of the filler pipe there is an insert that ensures a good alignment of the fuel nozzle during refueling.

IMPORTANT: The tank must never be drained by suction through the filler pipe as this will damage the non-return valve!
