Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009013558A1] An arrangement for a filler neck (2) of a liquid tank (20) positioned on a motor vehicle, the said filler neck (2) having a longitudinal axis (A) and incorporating a failsafe means having a geometric and/or functional interface capable of cooperating with a liquid dispensing nozzle (23) having a compatible geometric and/or functional interface, said arrangement further includes means for attaching the failsafe means onto the filler neck (2) authorizing at least one degree of freedom of the said failsafe means relative to the filler neck (2). The failsafe means can therefore have at least an angular tilt within the filler neck so as to allow the liquid dispensing nozzle to enter the failsafe means with at least one degree of adjustment. This can prove useful for positioning the liquid dispensing nozzle in the liquid tank environment that usually provides little space
