ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a fuel tank comprising a generally planar fuel tank bottom and upstanding wall on the fuel tank bottom. A passage within the wall has a throat area for admitting fuel to the reservoir. A baffle attached to the wall and placed adjacent the throat area deflects fuel away from the passage. The reservoir is designed to contain a first minimum quantity of fuel when the vehicle is approximately level and a second minimum quantity of fuel when the vehicle is inclined, the second quantity of fuel being roughly one-third the first minimum quantity of fuel. The reservoir acts to confine fuel within an area to be withdrawn by a fuel pump or pick-up nozzle and supplied to an engine.
