Abstract: A filler neck for filling fuel into a vehicle tank includes a closure flap mounted for pivot between a closed position closing the filler neck and an open position releasing the filler neck and which is prestressed into the closed position by spring prestressing and is pivotable into the open position from the closed position by a fuel pump nozzle being hooked into a hooking-in position in the filler neck. A liquid outlet opening permits liquid accumulating in the filler neck when the closure flap is closed to drain out of the filler neck. A closure element is prestressed into an open position releasing the liquid outlet opening. The closure element is arranged and designed in such a manner that, by the fuel pump nozzle being hooked into the hooking-in position, the closure element is moved counter to the prestressing into a closure position closing the liquid outlet opening.

Abstract: A fuel filling neck includes a closure flap pivotably mounted thereon to be pivoted between a neck closed position and a neck open position. The flap is preloaded into the closed position by spring pretension. A mis-filling prevention device is in the filling neck between the closure flap and an insertion opening for a fuel pump nozzle and has a closed position that prevents the closure flap from being pivoted into the open position, and an enabling position permitting the closure flap to be pivoted into the open position. The mis-filling prevention device is mounted with axial play so as to be first axially forced against the closure flap by the fuel pump nozzle as the nozzle is inserted, the closure flap being moved into a partly open position, and, during subsequent further insertion of the nozzle, the mis-filling prevention device being moved into the enabling position.
