A fuel tank lid unit includes a tank lid, an accommodation unit, and an inner terminal. The tank lid closes an opening at an upper part of a fuel tank. The accommodation unit is provided at an upper part of the tank lid, and accommodates an electronic circuit in therein. The inner terminal penetrates the tank lid and connects the electronic circuit and an electronic component inside the fuel tank. The accommodation unit includes a communication opening communicating internal and external spaces. The internal space in the accommodation unit includes a first region where the electronic circuit is arranged and a second region provided below the first region and surrounding the inner terminal. In a plan view of the accommodation unit, an area of the second region is smaller than that of the first region. Further, a communication opening is provided below a first region-side end of the second region.

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 fuel system for a motor vehicle includes a fuel pump having a first pump outlet connectable to an engine fuel inlet and a second pump outlet, a fuel pump module including an internal volume, a fuel pump module outlet is arranged in the internal volume fluidically connected to the second pump outlet, and a fuel valve is fluidically connected to the second pump outlet. The fuel valve is operable to fluidically isolate the fuel pump from the fuel pump module when fuel in the internal volume reaches a selected fuel level.

A fuel tank (10) includes: a lower panel (12) made of steel and an upper panel (11) made of steel; and at least one pillar (100) made of steel which is disposed in an interior space (V) formed by the lower panel (12) and the upper panel (11) facing each other and of which a first end portion is fixed to the lower panel (12) and a second end portion is fixed to the upper panel (11) in a state where the second end portion is disposed in a hole formed in the upper panel (11).

A dual reservoir fuel tank, wherein the fuel tank comprises a main fuel reservoir having an inner wall and an outer wall that define a main reservoir chamber, and an auxiliary fuel reservoir connected to a bottom of the main fuel reservoir. The dual reservoir fuel tank additionally includes a fuel retention lip structured and operable to retain fuel within the auxiliary reservoir chamber when the dual reservoir fuel tank is disposed at an angle.

A motor vehicle tank subassembly for storing and discharging an operating liquid, encompassing: a tank shell enclosing a tank interior; a conveying pump; a filter body at least partly accessible from the tank interior; and an intake conduit, the filter body having a body shell that encloses a filter body interior; at least a portion of the body shell encompassing a liquid-permeable filter material through which operating liquid in the tank interior can flow from outside the filter body into the filter body interior; the intake conduit connecting an intake side of the conveying pump to the filter body interior; arranged in the filter body interior, in the region of an intake opening of the intake conduit, is a baffle configuration that is embodied, as compared with an identically constructed filter body having no baffle configuration, to impede a movement of operating liquid away from the intake opening.

A container including sealed walls for containing a liquid, one of the walls forming a container bottom, the container bottom including a plurality of partitions defining therebetween areas contained consecutively inside one another, each of the areas communicating with an adjacent contained area via a passage including a threshold. The threshold of the passage between one area and an adjacent contained area is a low point of the area and a high point of the adjacent contained area, for any given area. The passage between the given area and the area in which the given area is contained, and the passage between the given area and the area contained within the given area are arranged in angular sectors defined by imaginary geometric angles opposed at the vertex thereof, the vertex being located in line with a lower-level area of the container, the angles having a size of less than 45.

A method is provided for manufacturing a container. During this method, a baffle is provided. The baffle is configured from or otherwise includes baffle thermoplastic material. A sidewall is formed using an additive manufacturing device. The sidewall is bonded to the baffle during the forming of the sidewall. The sidewall circumscribes the baffle. The sidewall is configured from or otherwise includes sidewall thermoplastic material. The container includes an internal chamber, the baffle and the sidewall. The sidewall forms an outer peripheral boundary of the internal chamber. The baffle is arranged within the internal chamber.

A pump module is disposed on a bottom portion of a fuel tank in the fuel tank. The pump module includes a suck-up unit for sucking up a fuel and a plurality of engaged portions. A bracket includes a base portion, a plurality of engaging portions, and a flow path. The base portion is a frame member fixed to the bottom portion and surrounding the pump module in a state where a lower end portion is in contact with the bottom portion. The engaging portions protrude from the base portion toward an upper side of the fuel tank and are respectively engaged with the engaged portions of the pump module. The flow path is disposed in the base portion and allows an inside of a frame of the base portion and an outside of the frame of the base portion to communicate with each other.

A fuel system for a motor vehicle includes a fuel pump having a first pump outlet connectable to an engine fuel inlet and a second pump outlet, a fuel pump module including an internal volume, a fuel pump module outlet is arranged in the internal volume fluidically connected to the second pump outlet, and a fuel valve is fluidically connected to the second pump outlet. The fuel valve is operable to fluidically isolate the fuel pump from the fuel pump module when fuel in the internal volume reaches a selected fuel level.
