Abstract: A pressurized fuel tank, disposed transversely over the rear axle of an automobile, is divided by baffles into three compartments. Large apertures in the baffles interconnect the upper portion of the compartments and a pipe extending through the baffles interconnects the lower portion of the compartments. A fuel pump inlet is located in the center compartment adjacent an opening in the pipe. A pressure relief valve discharges from the center compartment adjacent the vehicle centerline. A filler pipe extends through one of the end walls and one of the baffles to discharge adjacent the vehicle centerline. A cap on the filler pipe is provided with a vacuum relief valve. Pressure in the tank is also released during removal of the cap.
