Abstract
The toroidal safety tank for liquefied petroleum gas which can accept gas over pressure is located in the spare wheel compartment. It is constituted by two welded half shells (1,2) with a central undulated part and widened into an arc at the ends. These ends have tongues which enable coupling to the internal edges of the shells where they are welded. The undulated shape of the central part ensures that the assembly can expand. The tank has a multiple monobloc nozzle (8) having two orifices of different diameter. One orifice receives a multi-valve and the other a safety valve. The nozzle is mounted outside the vehicle compartment thereby putting the valves in direct contact with the outside air.
