Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009077067A1] The invention relates to a tank removal device (1), comprising a cold start heater (6) for frozen fluids (11) from a motor vehicle tank system having at least one primary tank (2), at least one heat emission element (13, 27, 33), which is connected to at least one heating element (19) in a heat-conducting manner and conducts the heat produced in the heating element (19) into the frozen fluid (11), whereby a cold start volume (5) is melted, and to a method for removing a frozen fluid (11) from the motor vehicle tank system. In order to be able to remove the fluid (11) of the cold start volume (5) from the motor vehicle tank system, without requiring an additional ventilation device (10) or a separate removal line (20, 20'), it is provided according to the invention that the cold start volume (5) extends from a gas volume (12) above the frozen fluid (11) to the removal opening (4). The invention further relates to a method, wherein the cold start volume (5) is melted by a fluid level (O) of the frozen fluid (11) adjoining a gas volume up to a removal opening (4) of the tank system.
