1. A compressed gas storage tank, in particular for a motor vehicle, with a holder which is designed to store a compressed fuel, with at least one pressure relief valve, wherein due to opening of the at least one pressure relief valve, fuel is dischargeable from the holder into an environment of the compressed gas storage tank, and with a catalytic converter device which is designed to catalyze an oxidation reaction of fuel originating from the holder (12) with oxygen, characterized in that
the compressed gas storage tank has at least one piezoelectric element to which a pressure can be applied by opening the at least one pressure relief valve, wherein the pressure can cause at least one spark to be generated by means of the at least one piezoelectric element.
