A work vehicle including a drive device (10) having an internal combustion engine (12) for driving a vehicle body (1) has: a first tank (32) that is disposed in front of or behind the drive device, and stores fuel (9) to be supplied to the internal combustion engine; a second tank (34) that is disposed below the drive device so as to be separated from the first tank by a predetermined distance, and stores the fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine; a first storage amount detection part (70) that is disposed in the first tank, and detects an amount of the fuel stored in the first tank; and a second storage amount detection part (80) that is disposed in the second tank, and detects an amount of the fuel stored in the second tank.

A method for dewatering an operating substance, more particularly a fuel, preferably during the operation of a vehicle, more particularly a rail vehicle, includes conveying an operating substance from an operating substance tank. Water present on or in the fuel is first collected in a water container, and water is conveyed, in chronological order, from the water container back to the operating substance tank, then to an exhaust system and/or from the operating substance tank to the exhaust gas system. A dewatering device for an operating substance, more particularly a fuel for a vehicle, more particularly a rail vehicle, includes a water container, in which water present on or in the fuel is collected. The dewatering device has a dewatering conduit or line which runs from the water container to an operating-substance tank of the vehicle and/or to an exhaust-gas system of the vehicle.

A fuel supply device includes a pump unit that sucks stored fuel in a fuel tank from a suction port and discharges the fuel to an outside of the fuel tank. A pressure regulating valve performs pressure regulation of fuel discharged from the pump unit. The pressure regulating valve includes a return port having an opening facing in a separating direction away from the suction port, and returns surplus fuel generated by the pressure regulation from the return port into the fuel tank. A suction filter encloses an internal space where the suction port is open, and filters the stored fuel entering the internal space. The suction filter includes an expansion part to which the internal space is extended, and the expansion part is on a side of the return port that faces in the separating direction.

A passive fuel additives dosing system includes a membrane-based contactor within a cartridge, an additive within the membrane-based contactor, a fuel inlet to the cartridge and a fuel outlet from the cartridge. The membrane-based contactor is arranged within the cartridge such that, with fuel in the cartridge, a fuel contact area with the membrane-based contactor is dependent on a fuel flow rate to passively dispense a proportional amount of the additive into the fuel.

Methods and systems are provided for protective cover. In one example, the protective cover may be configured to protect a fuel delivery module and may include a domed cap. The domed cap may resistant forces exerted on the protective cover and maintain clearance between the domed cap and enclosed electronic ports of the fuel delivery module.

Methods and systems are provided for a multi-fuel fuel system. In one example, a system includes a first fuel arranged in an interior volume of a first tank and a second fuel arranged in an interior volume of a second tank. The second tank is arranged in the interior volume of the first tank and in contact with the first fuel.

A saddle riding vehicle includes: a fuel tank supported by a body frame; a filler opening provided in an upper surface of the fuel tank; a tank cover covering the upper surface of the fuel tank; and a fuel sump collecting fuel overflowing from the filler opening. The saddle riding vehicle includes a shroud covering a side surface of the fuel tank. The fuel sump is placed around the filler opening and under the tank cover. The fuel sump includes a drain pipe discharging fuel downward. The drain pipe extends between the tank cover and the shroud.

A saddled vehicle includes: a fuel injection valve mounted in a cylinder head from one side surface of the cylinder head and injecting fuel toward a combustion chamber; and a fuel pump that supplies fuel to the fuel injection valve in response to a generated pump pressure. The fuel pump is disposed in a space between main frames and a down frame and in the one side surface of the cylinder head. Accordingly, there is provided a layout of the fuel pump capable of sufficiently protecting the fuel pump without a need to restrict a position of an internal combustion engine.

A protection member fixed to an engine main body to protect a fuel feeding pipe from coming into contact with an intake part includes a first protrusion protruding in an extending direction of the fuel feeding pipe from the vicinity of a first fastening portion, a second protrusion protruding in the same direction as the protruding direction of the first protrusion from the vicinity of a second fastening portion, and a third protrusion protruding in the longitudinal direction from the second protrusion and brought into contact with the engine main body. Hence, load from the intake part is supported by the first and second protrusions in the vicinity of the high-strength first and second fastening portions, and also the load is surely transmitted not only from the first and second fastening portions, but also from the third protrusion to the engine main body.

A handheld work apparatus includes a gas-operated combustion engine which has a cylinder with a combustion chamber, the combustion chamber being delimited by a piston. The combustion engine is fed combustion air via an intake channel and liquid gas via a supply line. The liquid gas enters into an opening of the supply line in a gas tank, it being possible for the position of the opening of the supply line in the gas tank to be adjusted. A longitudinal section of the supply line lies within the gas tank and is formed from a flexible hose. A weight is arranged in the region of the opening in such a way that liquid gas is fed via the opening to the supply line of the mixture formation unit in every operating position of the work apparatus.
