Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a heating device for heating liquids in a reservoir, such as a tank or a container of a vehicle is disclosed. The heating device may have a housing which is resistant to the liquid to be heated and has a tubular outer casing closed at one end by a base part and at the other end by a cover part. The heating element may also include an insert inserted into the outer casing of the housing and at least one surface heating element arranged between the outer casing and the insert. Connecting conductors of the heating element may be routed out of the housing sealed, and at least one surface heating element may cover the inner surface of the outer casing, viewed in the circumferential direction of the outer casing, at least over a partial circumference, with which the outer casing may be in thermal contact, and the insert, or at least parts thereof, may be pretensioned and press the at least one surface heating element against the inner surface of the outer casing at least in partial regions.
