Abstract

The tank is made from identical half shells (1, 2) with flanges around the edges bolted together to provide a horizontal joint. A flexible diaphragm (5) is shaped to fit against the inner wall of the upper half, its edges being sealed between the tank flanges. An outlet (7) is provided in the bottom, leading to the engine and inlet (6) has its inlet pipe (8) bent to bring the filler orifice (10) above tank level. The diaphragm conforms with the surface of the fuel, the air space being free of vapours. An orifice (11) communicates with the atmosphere or a pressure source (2), if required.
