A work vehicle including: a drive device that has an internal combustion engine for driving a vehicle body; a first tank for storing fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine; and a second tank for storing fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine; wherein the first tank is disposed in front of or behind the drive device, and the second tank is disposed below the drive device so as to be separated from the first tank by a predetermined distance.

There is provided a fuel tank including: a fuel tank main body enclosed by a floor wall, side walls and an upper wall; and a separator including a strut, a first plate portion in which a first penetrating hole that penetrates in a plate thickness direction is formed, and a second plate portion in which a second penetrating hole that penetrates in a plate thickness direction is formed, the second plate portion sandwiching the strut with the first plate portion and extending in a diametric direction at an opposite side of the strut from a side thereof at which the first plate portion is disposed, wherein at least one of shapes, sizes or numbers of the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating hole is set to be different such that fluid resistances at the first plate portion and the second plate portion are different.

A work vehicle including a tank (31,131) formed so as to extend from a rear part of a vehicle body toward a center, wherein the tank includes: a first storage tank (32) located on the rear side of the vehicle body, and stores stored fluid (9); a second storage tank (34) located on a side close to the center in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and stores the fluid; a partition part (36) that separates the first storage tank and the second storage tank; a discharge member (49) that has a discharge opening (49a) extending and opened inside the second storage tank, and discharges, from the second storage tank, the fluid stored in the second storage tank; and a hollow tube member (60) that has a first end communicated with the first storage tank through the partition part so as to enable the stored fluid to flow, and a second end having a hollow tube opening (62) extending and opened toward the center of the vehicle body inside the second storage tank, wherein the hollow tube opening of the hollow tube member is located on the central side of the vehicle body with respect to the discharge opening of the discharge member.

An operating fluid container for a motor vehicle for accommodating an operating fluid. The operating fluid container has a compensation container that is at least indirectly fluidically connected to the atmosphere (ATM). The operating fluid container has the following features: the compensation container is situated within the operating fluid container in such a way that an outer surface of a compensation container upper shell is situated opposite from an inner surface of an operating fluid container upper shell; in the event of positive pressure in the operating fluid container relative to the atmosphere, a compensation container volume decreases; and in the event of negative pressure in the operating fluid container relative to the atmosphere, the compensation container volume increases. The operating fluid container is characterized in that the compensation container upper shell opposite from the operating fluid container upper shell has a shape, at least in sections, that is complementary to the operating fluid container upper shell.

A support assembly type baffle is proposed. The baffle may include a baffle body provided in an inner space of a vehicle tank to reduce flow noise, and having a plurality of through holes spaced apart from each other and a fastening portion formed on the inner circumferential surface of the through holes, and a support having a columnar shape, being fitted into the through holes to penetrate the through holes, and having an engagement portion coupled with the fastening portion, formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof, so that the support is fastened to the baffle body in a state of penetrating the baffle body, each of both ends of the support being fixed to two opposite sides of the inner sides of the tank to maintain the shape of the inner space of the tank.

The mounting structure of a fuel device is for mounting the fuel device, which includes a plurality of components, on a baffle plate for suppressing waving of liquid fuel stored in a fuel tank. One of the components of the fuel device is integrally formed, as a mounting portion, with the baffle plate. The remaining components of the fuel device are mounted, as a mounted portion, on the mounting portion of the baffle plate.

A tank for transporting fluids on a truck chassis includes a front wall, side walls, a back wall, a top, and a floor. Interior stairs extend from the floor to an opening in the top to allow stair access into the interior with integrated safety handrails on the fill port cover. Stair toe kicks act as internal transverse baffles to help control fluid motion and surging. The stairs also act as a structural stiffener between longitudinal baffles. Horizontal baffles assist in controlling fluid motion and surging. Formed baffles provide strength and stiffness. A baffle interlocking system improves joint integrity and aids manufacturing. Formed outer skins provide structural strength for the tank. Ports located in front and rear bulkheads may be used for tank ventilation or, depending on local safety codes, as secondary access points. Doors or other access openings may be located in the tank bulkheads to provide better interior access.

A trailer that includes a tank with an enclosed interior space configured to hold fluid. The trailer can include a chassis that supports the tank and wheels for moving to desired locations. The tank can include planar opposing sides with rounded corners. One or more baffles can be located within the interior space. The baffles restrict the movement of the fluid within the interior space while the trailer is being moved between locations. This restriction reduces the forces that the moving fluid exerts on the tank which could cause damage to the tank that could result in leaks and failure.

A liquid tank having a tank interior space delimited by a tank wall and fillable with liquid, a withdrawal opening; a retention component that delimits a component interior region in the tank interior space; the component volume of the interior region being less than the tank volume; a partition of the retention component permitting a flow of liquid, out of a component exterior region located outside the interior region but inside the tank volume, through the partition into the interior region and presenting a flow resistance to a flow out of the interior region through the partition into the exterior region, in such a way that the partition exhibits a liquid retention capability with respect to surging movements of liquid in the interior region; the withdrawal opening being arranged in such a way that at least as soon as a level falls below a threshold, the partition is arranged between the withdrawal opening and a liquid quantity received in an exterior region of the tank interior space; the retention component is flowthrough-capable at least in portions only unidirectionally from the exterior region into the interior region, but not in the opposite direction.

A tank assembly is provided and includes a housing which has a housing volume and which is chargeable with a volume of a first fluid, a bladder disposed within the housing and chargeable with a second fluid such that the bladder has a minimal volume in an uncharged state and a flow system. The flow system includes a portion thereof which is coupled to the bladder and which has a second volume within the housing. The flow system is configured to at least charge the bladder with a volume of the second fluid which is equal to or less than a difference between the housing volume less a sum of the minimal volume and the second volume and the volume of the first fluid.
