Abstract (en)
A collapsible tank (10) comprises a flexible unitary container (12) having an inner surface (14) and an outer surface (16) and a flexible partial container (22) having an inner surface (24) and an outer surface (26). The inner surface of the unitary container defines a first compartment (18) for storing a first fluid. The partial container is mounted to the unitary container to divide the unitary container into a first portion (12A) and a second portion (12B) and to form a second compartment (28) between the inner surface of the partial container and the outer surface of the second portion of the unitary container to store a second fluid. The second portion of the unitary container is flexible and movable relative to the first portion of the unitary container and the partial container to reciprocally change the relative volumes of the first and the second compartments.
