Abstract: A shift lever assembly is provided including a cylindrical member having a fixed axis. An annular member is supported for rotation about the axis of the cylindrical member. A lever is connected to the annular member and is moveable within a first shift lane and a second shift lane substantially parallel the first shift lane. The second lane is connected to the first lane by a bisecting lane. A compliant member is provided to move the lever from the first lane to the second lane. The compliant member is provided between the cylindrical member and annular member.

Abstract: A fuel tank support for supporting and protecting a plastic fuel tank is mounted to the vehicle with the plastic fuel tank supported therein. Integral mounting members are formed in the fuel tank support to provide structural integrity, thereby obviating the need for additional mounting hardware and straps. In addition, apertures formed on the walls of the support provide vent holes for venting stagnant hot air from the space between the fuel tank and the fuel tank support.

Abstract: A dual fuel tank (10) including first fuel tank (12) and a second fuel tank (14). A single fuel hose (16) allows fuel to enter the first fuel tank (12) from an outside source. When the fuel level in the first fuel tank (12) reaches an overflow level (17), fuel passes through a transfer tube (18) from the first fuel tank (12) into the second fuel tank (14). A transfer fuel pump (20) communicates fuel from the second fuel tank (14) to the first fuel tank (16) such that the level of fuel in the first tank (12) is maximized relative to the available fuel in the system. A main fuel pump (22) communicates fuel from the first fuel pump (12) to a remote target (24). In this way the fuel is available from a single location within the dual fuel tank (10) at a wider range of angles of vehicle travel.
