Die Sattelzugmaschine 12 umfasst eine in einem Motorraum 22 der Sattelzugmaschine 12 angeordnete Verbrennungskraftmaschine, welche als Hubkolbenmaschine ausgebildet und mit flüssigem Kraftstoff in Form von Dieselkraftstoff betreibbar ist. Tractor 12 pulled in the forward direction according to a direction arrow 18 and pressed in a reverse direction in reverse direction according to a directional arrow 20 and can be moved with it. The tractor unit 12 comprises an internal combustion engine arranged in an engine compartment 22 of the tractor unit 12, which is designed as a reciprocating piston engine and can be operated with liquid fuel in the form of diesel fuel.
Zur Versorgung der Verbrennungskraftmaschine mit Dieselkraftstoff umfasst das To supply the internal combustion engine with diesel fuel includes the
Gespann 10 einen ersten Kraftstofftank 24, welcher an der Sattelzugmaschine 12 angeordnet ist. Wie der Figur zu entnehmen ist, ist der Kraftstofftank 24 hinsichtlich seiner Ausmaße besonders klein ausgebildet und weist eine Speicherkapazität von zumindest im Wesentlichen 50 Litern Dieselkraftstoff auf. Paired 10 a first fuel tank 24, which is arranged on the tractor unit 12. As the figure shows, the fuel tank 24 is particularly small in size and has a storage capacity of at least substantially 50 liters of diesel fuel.
Darüber hinaus umfasst das Gespann 10 einen weiteren Kraftstofftank 26, welcher, wie der Figur zu entnehmen ist, an dem Sattelauflieger 14 angeordnet ist. Der Kraftstofftank 26 ist dabei hinsichtlich seiner Ausmaße größer ausgebildet als der Kraftstofftank 24 und weist dementsprechend eine größere Speicherkapazität zur Aufnahme und Speicherung von Dieselkraftstoff auf. Die Verbrennungskraftmaschine kann dabei auch mit In addition, the vehicle 10 includes a further fuel tank 26, which, as the figure can be seen, is arranged on the semitrailer 14. The fuel tank 26 is made larger in size than the fuel tank 24 and accordingly has a larger storage capacity for receiving and storing diesel fuel. The internal combustion engine can also with
Dieselkraftstoff aus dem Kraftstofftank 26 versorgt werden. So fungiert der Kraftstofftank 26 als Hauptkraftstofftank zur Versorgung der Verbrennungskraftmaschine mit Diesel fuel from the fuel tank 26 are supplied. Thus, the fuel tank 26 functions as a main fuel tank for supplying the internal combustion engine with
Dieselkraftstoff. Ist der Dieselkraftstoff aus dem Kraftstofftank 26 aufgebraucht, so kann der Kraftstofftank 24 als Reservekraftstofftank fungieren und die Diesel fuel. If the diesel fuel from the fuel tank 26 is used up, the fuel tank 24 can act as a reserve fuel tank and the
Verbrennungskraftmaschine weiter mit Dieselkraftstoff versorgen, bis beispielsweise eine Tankstelle aufgefunden ist, um die Kraftstofftanks 24 und 26 wieder mit Dieselkraftstoff aufzufüllen.  Continue to supply internal combustion engine with diesel fuel until, for example, a gas station is found to replenish the fuel tanks 24 and 26 with diesel fuel.
Die Anordnung des Kraftstofftanks 26 an dem Sattelauflieger 14 birgt den Vorteil, dass der Kraftstofftank 26 in einem vorteilhaft großen Abstand zu anderweitigen Komponenten und/oder Bauteilen des Gespanns 10 sowie in einem vorteilhaft großem Abstand zu einer Fahrbahn 28, auf welcher das Gespann 10 fährt, angeordnet werden kann. So ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit und die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Kraftstofftanks 26, infolge derer Dieselkraftstoff aus dem Kraftstofftank 26 auslaufen kann, besonders gering, wenn es zu einer unfallbedingten Kraftbeaufschlagung des Gespanns 10 kommt und/oder wenn sich auf der Fahrbahn 28 befindende Gegenstände infolge eines Überfahrens dieser Gegenstände durch das Gespann 10 aufgewirbelt werden. The arrangement of the fuel tank 26 on the semitrailer 14 has the advantage that the fuel tank 26 in an advantageously large distance to other components and / or components of the combination 10 and at an advantageously large distance to a roadway 28 on which the team 10 drives, can be arranged. Thus, the likelihood and risk of damaging the fuel tank 26, which can cause diesel fuel to leak from the fuel tank 26, is particularly low when accidental loading of the trailer 10 occurs and / or when articles on the carriageway 28 are stalled of these objects are whirled up by the team 10.
Die infolge der großen Dimensionierung des Kraftstofftanks 26 und infolge dessen Anordnung am Sattelauflieger 14 geringe Dimensionierung des Kraftstofftanks 24 ermöglicht es, auch den Kraftstofftank 24 in einem vorteilhaft großen Abstand von anderweitigen Komponenten und/oder Bauteilen des Gespanns 10 sowie in einem vorteilhaft großen Abstand von der Fahrbahn 28 anzuordnen. Damit ist auch die Gefahr und die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Beschädigung des Kraftstofftanks 24 besonders gering. Dadurch weist das gesamte Gespann 10 eine besonders hohe Sicherheit insbesondere bei einer unfallbedingten Kraftbeaufschlagung auf. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Kraftstofftank 26 in Fahrzeughochrichtung gemäß einem Richtungspfeil 30 zumindest bereichsweise unterhalb des Sattelaufliegers 14 angeordnet ist, wobei der Sattelauflieger 14 den Kraftstofftank 26 gegebenenfalls zumindest bereichsweise in The small dimensions of the fuel tank 24 due to the large dimensioning of the fuel tank 26 and as a result of its arrangement on the semi-trailer 14 makes it possible to also the fuel tank 24 in an advantageously large distance from other components and / or components of the vehicle 10 and in a advantageous to arrange large distance from the roadway 28. Thus, the risk and the probability of damage to the fuel tank 24 is particularly low. As a result, the entire vehicle 10 has a particularly high level of safety, in particular in the case of accident-induced application of force. It can be provided that the fuel tank 26 is arranged in the vertical direction of the vehicle according to a direction arrow 30 at least partially below the semi-trailer 14, wherein the semi-trailer 14, the fuel tank 26 optionally at least partially in
Fahrzeughochrichtung nach oben hin überdeckt. Vehicle vertical direction covered at the top.
