ABSTRACT:
An enclosed fluid storage tank for a fold-down trailer or similar vehicle which is mounted on the vehicle frame and extends into the vehicle chassis. Preferably, the fluid storage tank is mounted over the vehicle axle member to minimize the effect of varying fluid level and weight on the towing characteristics of the vehicle. In certain preferred embodiments, the fluid storage tank is mounted entirely below the top surface of the vehicle chassis and below the vehicle floor. The fluid storage tank can be secured to the vehicle chassis along two longitudinally extending ledges between a floor covering and two removable secodary longtiudinal support members. A vertically offset portion in the bottom surface of the fluid storage tank provides clearance for the vehicle axle member and a clearance channel provides clearance for lifting mechanism cables which extend through the vehicle chassis. The fluid storage tank also incudes an access opening which allows withdrawal of fluid from its interior and at least one, or preferably two, vents for venting the interior of the fluid storage tank.
