ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank assembly contains a supply of volatile fuel in a collapsible container having a highly compliant wall movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration so as to follow and conform closely to the supply of volatile fuel within the container as the fuel is withdrawn from and replenished in the supply, the wall having a composite construction including a fluid filler material contained within a highly flexible envelope such that the composite construction of the wall enables expansion of the container toward the expanded configuration in response to the replenishment of fuel in the container to conform to and contain the supply of volatile fuel, and enables collapse of the container in response to the withdrawal of fuel from the container, toward the collapsed configuration, with the wall continuously and closely conforming to the supply of fuel within the container as fuel is withdrawn from and replenished within the container, thereby deterring the formation of fuel vapor within the fuel tank assembly.
