This disclosure provides a system for damping slosh of a liquid within a tank, a baffle for use in the system, and a method of damping slosh using the system. The system includes a plurality of baffles. Each baffle has a body configured to substantially float upon the liquid. Each baffle also has an activation material received along at least a portion of the body. The activation material is magnetically reactive provided in a quantity sufficient to enable the body to be manipulated in the presence of a magnetic field (M). The system further includes an actuator configured to provide the magnetic field (M).

A tank mounted on a working vehicle is provided with an exterior member including a first plate unit, a second plate unit, a third plate unit, a fourth plate unit, a fifth plate unit, and a sixth plate unit, a first baffle plate joined to a first inner surface of the first plate unit, a second inner surface of the second plate unit, and a third inner surface of the third plate unit, and a second baffle plate joined to a fourth inner surface of the fourth plate unit, a fifth inner surface of the fifth plate unit, and a sixth inner surface of the sixth plate unit.

A non-metallic transfer fuel tank, configured for placement in a spare tire location on a vehicle, includes a rigid non-metallic tank body with a plurality of cutouts formed in the tank body. A fill neck is coupled to the tank body along with a fuel line connector which connects the tank to the vehicle's existing fuel system. A mounting neck formed in the tank body contains a mounting rod. The mounting rod is coupled to a base plate which is below the tank body. The mounting rod is also coupled to a mounting plate which is located above the tank body. The mounting plate is further configured to couple in a winch location in the spare tire location on the vehicle using the same mounting method as was used to mount the spare tire winch.

The invention relates to an operating-fluid container (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a container body which is assembled from two mutually complementary injection-molded shells (2a, 2b) which consist of thermoplastic material and are welded together in an encircling manner to form a substantially closed hollow body, wherein at least one shell (2a, 2b) is at least in regions formed from thermoplastic materials having different strengths, wherein at least one part-region consists of a thermoplastic material having a fibrous filling, wherein the shell (2a, 2b) has been obtained by way of a co-injection process during injection molding.

A dual-fluid receptacle for a diesel vehicle includes an outer wall disposed on an outer surface of the vehicle. The outer wall defines a diesel receptacle for receiving diesel fuel, a diesel-exhaust receptacle adjacent the diesel receptacle for receiving a diesel-exhaust fluid, and a bridge portion disposed between the diesel and diesel-exhaust receptacles. The receptacles are configured to simultaneously receive the diesel fuel and diesel-exhaust fluid from a single fluid dispensing unit. This allows an operator to fill the vehicle with diesel fuel and diesel-exhaust fluid, simultaneously, from a single fluid dispensing unit. A projection extends from the outer wall proximate to at least one of the two receptacles. The projection is configured to cooperate with an engagement feature of the fluid dispensing unit to selectively enable dispensing of diesel.

Example systems and methods for using multi-directional baffles in cryogenic fuel tanks are provided. An example cryogenic fuel tank comprises an inner surface defining an interior of the cryogenic fuel tank to hold a fuel and a plurality of baffles including a first baffle, the first baffle including a first member extending along a first plane and a second member extending along a second plane, the first plane different from the second plane, the second member connected to the first member, the plurality of baffles connected to the inner surface.

Methods and systems are provided for regulating fuel flow in a fuel tank. In one example, a method may comprise fueling a fuel tank by receiving a nozzle into a filler tube which extends into a fuel tank to fuel the fuel tank, and directing fuel through the tube against vanes in a baffle which forms a compartment within the tank. Additionally, the method may comprise enabling the vanes to open so that pressure within the compartment remains below a level which would otherwise cause shut off the nozzle during the fueling.

A stiffness reinforcement device for a fuel tank of a vehicle may include a body including a pair of pillars formed at both lateral end portions of the body; an upper fusing portion molded to an upper part of the body integrally and fused to an upper plate of the fuel tank; and a lower fusing portion molded to a lower part of the body integrally and fused to a lower plate of the fuel tank.

A fill tube for an oil tank may have at least one baffle coupled to an inner wall of the fill tube. A first baffle may have an aperture. A release tube may be coupled to the baffle at the aperture. An object may be inserted through the aperture. The object may force open a flapper valve coupled to the fill tube. Pressure in the oil tank may be released through the flapper valve. The baffles may prevent hot oil from spraying out of the fill tube. After the pressure has been equalized, oil may be poured into the fill tube to fill the oil tank.

Fuel tank made of thermoplastic material comprising baffle components provided therein in the form of at least one baffle element (2) comprising at least one wall portion (4) which is clamped approximately centrally and/or at the end, so that said wall portion may perform relative movements in relation to the tank, caused by splashing movements of the fuel, at least one fastening foot being provided for the clamping, the base thereof being provided with at least one through-hole, through which the fastening foot is riveted and/or welded to the tank wall (2).
