A fuel tank system is provided with at least two separate tank bodies, each with a respective tank body interior, and a connecting element connecting the tank bodies for fluid communication. The tank bodies are connected to each other by means of a connector and are fabricated from a plastic material. The fuel tank system is formed with receiving means (5) for arrangement on a frame of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, having a driver's saddle. The fuel tank system includes a distributor element with a fuel filling opening; the distributor element is connected in a fluid-conducting manner to the tank bodies via at least one fluid-conducting connector.

Systems and methods for balancing levels of liquid fuel among multiple vehicle-mounted fuel tanks utilize at least one control valve that is configured to admit pressurized gas into a first fuel tank while a second fuel tank is ventilated, responsive to detection of a difference of liquid fuel levels within the first and second fuel tanks. Admission of pressurized gas into one fuel tank and ventilation of another fuel tank creates a pressure imbalance that causes liquid fuel to flow through a balancing line connecting the fuel tanks. Balancing may be performed in a bidirectional manner.

A cooperating rack structure comprising at least two modules affixed to legs and a method of reduced weight vertical storage of fuel tanks for use in motor vehicles wherein the fuel tanks form a cooperating portion of the rack superstructure.

A high-pressure container unit includes: a box-shaped case mounted on a vehicle and configured to include a bottom portion, a ceiling portion, and a peripheral wall portion; a plurality of container main bodies arranged in an interior of the case and each having a cylindrical body portion; and a reinforcing member extending along an axial direction of the container main body, the reinforcing member being provided in at least one of a space surrounded by the container main bodies adjacent to each other and the bottom portion and, a space surrounded by the container main bodies adjacent to each other and the ceiling portion.

The present invention relates to a plastic tank which provides storing of gasoline and urea liquid called adblue, used in automotive industry, particularly in vehicles which operate with gasoline and which reduces the damage of vehicles, which operate with gasoline, to the environment, in a single tank with two chambers, and relates to a special core heating system designed for production of this tank by using rotation technology.

A fuel tank assembly includes a shell defining an opening therein, an access panel connectable to the shell and movable between a closed position where the opening is closed and an open position where the opening is open, and a fuel tank disposed in the shell and slidably engaged with the shell. The fuel tank and the opening are dimensioned such that the fuel tank is slidable out of the shell via the opening when the access panel is in the open position. A generator assembly and a method of servicing a fuel tank of a generator are also described.

The technology disclosed here relates to a pressure container system. The pressure container system includes a plurality of pressure containers for storing fuel and at least one load-distributing base layer. The load-distributing base layer is advantageously arranged between a lower base plate and the plurality of pressure containers. The load-distributing base layer is designed such that forces F, which act locally on the lower base plate and which act on the lower base plate substantially in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis Z, can be distributed to the plurality of pressure containers.

A container system includes first and second container bodies and a connector for holding the container bodies together as a container sub-assembly. The container bodies each define external connector passageways, which are aligned co-axially for assembly. The connector passes through the passageway of the first container body and engages with a thread in the passageway of a second container body. A connector head engages the first container body to clamp the container bodies together. The sub-assembly is affixed to a supporting structure by a fastener having a threaded shaft passing through the connector to clamp the connector to the mounting formation. The clamp load is borne by the connector to prevent the container bodies being damaged when the fastener is tightened. The container system is particularly suited for providing twin tanks for fuel and a fuel additive on a vehicle or agricultural machine.
