ABSTRACT:
An oil tank suitable for an aircraft mounted gas turbine engine is divided into three series connected chambers. Aerated oil after engine use is fed into the first chamber and de-aerated oil withdrawn from the third chamber for engine use. The chambers are interconnected in such a manner that when the tank is inverted, a reservoir of oil is retained within the third chamber to provide a continued supply of oil to the oil outlet for a finite time period and insufficient oil flows into the first chamber from the second to obstruct an air vent provided in the first chamber.
