A fluid tank comprising can include an outer housing comprising a housing volume, a first fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume, and a second fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume. The first fluid bladder can comprise a first conduit and the second fluid bladder can comprise a second conduit. The first fluid bladder can be configured to release fluid through the first conduit in response to introduction of fluid into the second fluid bladder via the second conduit. The housing volume can be maintained at a substantially constant pressure when fluid is released from the first fluid bladder through the first conduit and fluid is introduced into the second fluid bladder through the second conduit.

A multi-path cleaning system is provided for a fuel tank. The multi-path cleaning system includes a controller, a fuel polisher, and a plurality of controllable valves. The plurality of controllable valves are operatively connected to the controller, and each valve fluidly coupled to at least one of the inlet and outlet of the fuel polisher on a first side and the interior of the fuel tank on a second other side. The pump, when operated, causes fuel to be drawn through the inlet and discharged at the outlet of the fuel polisher, and to pass through at least one filter/water separator. Selective operation of the plurality of valves by the controller selectively fluidly couples portions of the interior of the fuel tank to the inlet and the outlet of the fuel polisher, thereby creating a plurality of fluid flow paths through the interior of the fuel tank.

A fuel management system including a fuel pump and a flow meter to transfer and control remaining amounts fuel among fuel tanks mounted on a hull of a marine vessel includes first fuel flow channels corresponding to the fuel tanks to connect the fuel tanks to an upstream side of the fuel pump and the flow meter, and second fuel flow channels corresponding to the fuel tanks to connect the fuel tanks to a downstream side of the fuel pump and the flow meter.

A machine includes an engine compartment, an engine located within the engine compartment, a first compartment located on a first side of the machine, external to the engine compartment, and accessible via the engine compartment, as well as a second compartment located on a second side of the machine, external to the engine compartment, and accessible via the engine compartment. A first actuator is disposed on the first side of the machine and couples to a first linkage member that supports a work implement. A second actuator is disposed on the second side of the machine and couples to a second linkage member that supports the work implement. A first fuel tank is located in the first compartment, coplanar with the first actuator. A second fuel tank is located in the second compartment, coplanar with the second actuator.

An engine operable in a premixed combustion system and a diffusion combustion system. The engine includes a main fuel injection valve, a pilot fuel injection valve, a liquid fuel tank, a main fuel supply path, a pilot fuel supply path, a pilot fuel filter, a pilot fuel high-pressure pump, a pilot fuel tank, and a pilot fuel supply pump. The pilot fuel tank stores pilot fuel sent from the pilot fuel high-pressure pump and not injected by the pilot fuel injection valve. This pilot fuel is sent to an automatic backwash filter and a pilot fuel filter while not passing through the liquid fuel tank.

A fuel injector feeds fuel to a combustion chamber of a cylinder of a dual-fuel engine and includes: a main body having a needle guide; a nozzle needle guidable in the needle guide; a needle fuel chamber defined by the main body, coupleable to the combustion chamber, wherein the orifices are open in a first position of the nozzle needle and closed in a second position of the nozzle needle; a first line arranged in the main body, and being coupled to the needle fuel chamber, via the first line a fuel being introduceable into the needle fuel chamber. In the main body a second line is coupleable to the needle guide and to a control chamber of a control valve of the fuel injector, wherein via the second line a fuel is feedable to the needle guide as barrier fluid and to the control chamber as working fluid.

An on-board fuel separation system includes a supply fuel tank configured to store an input fuel stream; a fuel separator fluidly coupled to the supply fuel tank and configured to separate the input fuel stream into a first fractional fuel stream and a second fractional fuel stream. The fuel separator includes a membrane that includes a plurality of pores sized based on a molecular size of one or more components of the first fractional fuel stream. The system includes a first fractional fuel tank fluidly coupled to the fuel separator to receive the first fractional fuel stream passed through the membrane and defined by a first auto-ignition characteristic value. The system includes a second fractional fuel stream coupled to the fuel separator to receive the second fractional fuel stream from the fuel separator that is defined by a second auto-ignition characteristic value that is different than the first auto-ignition characteristic value.

The invention relates to a filling system on a motor vehicle, having at least two storage tanks for liquid or gaseous operating materials, comprising a tank closure cover which closes an opening in the body of the motor vehicle and can be brought from a first position that closes the opening into a second position that releases the opening, wherein at least two filling openings of the storage tanks are arranged below the tank closure cover, which are concealed in the first position of the tank closure cover; a filler trough that forms an enclosure of the filling opening, wherein the filler trough closes the opening in the body of the motor vehicle on the vehicle side and is fixed to the body of the motor vehicle; and at least one filler head, wherein the filling openings are formed as a part of the filler head, the filler head defining at least two mouth-hole necks which are combined to form a common component and are integrally connected to each other, each mouth-hole neck forming a filling opening for another storage tank.

A fuel supply apparatus able to stop actuating of a fuel supply pump without mounting a special fuel supply sensor when the fuel supply is stopped or becomes slow, includes a control section which calculates an amount of the fuel in the fuel tank based upon a signal from a fuel gauge, and outputs the result to a fuel meter. The control section also calculates from the fuel gauge signal the amount of the supplied into the fuel tank per unit of time, and if the amount of the fuel supplied per unit of time is determined to be less than a set supply rate, the fuel supply pump is stopped so that a malfunction of the fuel supply can be detected without mounting a special fuel supply sensor.

A fuel supply device may include a pump case configured to accommodate a fuel pump, a reserve tank, and an elastic support member configured to elastically support the pump case with respect to the reserve tank. The elastic support member is connected to the pump case and the reserve tank via a first connection device and a second connection device, respectively. The first connection device is configured to pivotally connect the elastic support member to the pump case and/or the second connection device is configured to pivotally connect the elastic support member to the reserve tank.
