ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank for storing aggressive liquid fuels, especially fuel for operating satellite engines has an oblong shape with hemispherical ends. A fuel collecting device (12) is arranged inside the fuel tank. The collecting device is so constructed and equipped with guide vanes for feeding the fuel, and with a pipe system including collecting vessels with screens that a fuel supply to the engines is assured under any conceivable operating conditions, since surface tension and capillary forces assure a refilling of the collecting device inside the fuel tank.
