    Abstract: A system and method for assembling a fuel tank is disclosed. A measuring device is mounted on a carriage on which at least one machine tool (e.g., saw, router) is also mounted. This carriage is operatively interconnected with a computer and may be longitudinally moved between a headstock and tailstock which are longitudinally displaced and on which various subassemblies of the fuel tank may be mounted during the assembly of a given fuel tank. Length measurements are preferably made of each fuel tank subassembly prior to any machining operation being executed thereon, as well as after each such machining operation, by monitoring/knowing the longitudinal position of the carriage via the measuring device. These length measurements may be automatically recorded on an appropriate computer-readable storage medium in relation to the subject fuel tank subassembly and the subject fuel tank. This information may be used to evaluate supplier compliance with engineering specifications and/or performance of the system in assembling fuel tanks.

    Abstract: A self-contained liquefied gas supply system has a tank for storing a liquefied gas, a primary pump for delivering the liquefied gas from the tank, a secondary pump for pressurizing the liquefied gas delivered from the primary pump, a vaporizer for vaporizing the liquefied gas discharged from the secondary pump into a vaporized gas, an expander for actuating the secondary pump with the vaporized gas produced by the vaporizer, and a back-pressure line connected to an outlet of the expander. A bypass pipe is connected between the primary pump and the vaporizer in bypassing relation to the secondary pump for supplying the liquefied gas from the primary pump to the vaporizer. A joint line is connected between the back-pressure line and a substantially atmospheric pressure line, the joint line having a first flow regulating valve for regulating a rate of flow of a gas from the back-pressure line to the substantially atmospheric pressure line. A bypass line is connected between the vaporizer and the back-pressure line in bypassing relation to the expander, the bypass line having a second flow regulating mechanism for regulating a rate of flow of the vaporized gas from the vaporizer to the back-pressure line. For starting the secondary pump, the liquefied gas is delivered from the primary pump through the bypass pipe to the vaporizer, which produces a vaporized gas supplied to the expander.
