Abstract: A steering system (10) for a vehicle (16) comprises a housing (20) having first and second end portions (32, 34) and an intermediate portion (50). A steering member (66) is supported for axial movement in the housing (20). A piston (100) fixed for movement with the steering member (66) has opposite end faces (104, 106). First and second springs (130, 132) engage the end faces (104, 106) of the piston (100) and bias the piston and thereby the steering member (66) in first and second axial directions toward a straight ahead position. Steering linkage (124, 126) connected with the piston member (100) transmits movement of the piston member (100) to steerable wheels (12, 14) of the vehicle.

Abstract: A storage container (12) is filled with a combustible mixture of gases including a flammable gas and a primary gas which contains an oxidizer gas. The primary gas is conducted from a source (16) of the primary gas to an intermediate primary gas container (22). The flammable gas is conducted from a source (18) of flammable gas to an intermediate flammable gas container (24). The primary gas is conducted to the storage container (12) from the intermediate primary gas container (22). Similarly, the flammable gas is conducted to the storage container (12) from the intermediate flammable gas container (24). Preferably, the flammable gas is conducted to the storage container (12) before the primary gas is conducted to the storage container. The storage container (12) is filled relatively quickly, in less than four minutes, and, in one embodiment, in approximately 1.2 minutes.
