Abstract

The invention relates to an inflatable element for use interiorly in a fuel tank of a vehicle, vessel or aeroplane, wherein the inflatable element is provided with means, by which inflating gas is supplied into or discharged from the inflatable element in order to reduce sloshing of swinging of the fuel and furthermore to reduce the vapour space and vapour losses to improve the speed of refill.
