Zusammenfassung:	A fuel tank system includes a fill tube in communication with a tank; and a sealing device in the fill tube. A vent valve is mounted on the tank, the vent valve being open during a filling operation of the tank with a fuel and during periods of normal use of the tank. A vent pipe has a first end connected to the tank and with a second end in communication with the fill tube. The vent pipe is configured to allow vapors to escape from the tank without creating a substantial over pressure inside the tank so that the filling operation takes place without pressure in the tank, and the vent valve is open during the filling operation without pressure in the tank.
