Original Abstract Submitted
A filling device for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, includes a vehicle body flap which forms at least part of a skin of the vehicle and is designed to pivot between a first position and a second position that differs from the first position. The vehicle body flap has an opening. A container stores a fluid. A filler neck is provided on the vehicle body flap in such a way that the container can be filled with fluid in a direction of flow via the opening and the filler neck, the filler neck forming a channel that connects the opening in the vehicle body flap to the container. In the area of the opening, the channel has a filling portion in which a swell wall is formed that reduces the flow cross-section in relation to the opening located upstream of the swell wall and in relation to a portion of the channel located downstream of the swell wall.
