ABSTRACT:
Reserve fuel tank for motor vehicles and the like includes an air-tight reservoir having inlet and outlet tubes so that it can be connected between the main fuel tank and the engine or other fuel consumer. In a main feed position the outlet opens from an upper region and the reservoir is automatically filled with fuel by the flow from the inlet, and preferably said flow impinges on the outlet so that some fuel passes straight through. In a reserve feed position structure of the device is rearranged so that the outlet opens from a lower region to draw fuel from the reservoir, for example by inverting the reservoir, or inverting or lowering an outlet tube or a combined outlet and inlet tube. A simple and cheap construction is provided, avoiding the need for valves or cocks.
