ABSTRACT:
A safety apparatus for a fuel tank in a vehicle includes a fuel tank for storing fuel, a gelling agent tank for storing a gelling agent which can gelatinize the fuel, a supply system for supplying the gelling agent in the gelling agent tank to the fuel tank, a tank-emergency detecting system for detecting an emergency in the fuel tank, and a control system for outputting a drive signal to drive the supply system. The control system outputs the drive signal under the condition that the tank-emergency detecting system outputs an emergency detection signal indicating an emergency in the fuel tank.
