    Abstract: A pressure container (70) for storing hydrogen gas (26) under pressure for a fuel cell engine. The container (70) includes an outer support layer (12) and a thermoplastic liner (14). An adapter (18) is provided in the outer layer (12) and the liner (14) to allow fill gas (20) to fill the container (70) under pressure. A fill vessel (72) is provided within the liner (14) and is sealed and thermally coupled to the adapter (18). The fill gas (20) is confined within a gap (78) between an outer surface of the fill vessel (72) and the liner (14) so that the temperature of the liner (14) is not significantly increased during the fill process. An opening (82) is provided in the fill vessel (72) so that the fill gas (20) forces the contained gas (26) within the container (70) into the fill vessel (72) through the opening (82).

    Abstract: A liquid hydrogen storage tank is provided with a boil-off release pressure above the critical pressure. The super critical pressure hydrogen storage tank has less hydrogen losses than a conventional tank even when used in vehicular applications and can be operated so as to provide zero hydrogen loss with reduced mandatory driving distances.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a probe having a resistance that varies with temperature and is operable to determine the quantity of a fluid, such as hydrogen, in a storage tank, such as a cryogenic storage tank. The probe relies upon differing heat transfer rates for the gaseous and liquid phases of the fluid and a change in resistance due to a change in temperature of the probe to ascertain the quantity of fluid within the storage tank. The probe can be configured to account for the geometry of the storage tank thereby providing a linearized signal indicative of the quantity of fluid in the storage tank.
