Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008105725A1] Fuel tank arrangement for a vehicle5 The present invention relates to a fuel tank arrangement (10) for a vehicle, in particular a heavyload vehicle, comprising a fuel tank (12) partitioned in a main tank compartment (16) and a catch tank compartment (18), wherein a fuel supply line (26) is arranged within said catch tank compartment (18) for supplying fuel out from said catch tank compartment (18) to a combustion engine of said vehicle, wherein said main tank compartment (16) and said catch tank compartment (18) are separated from each other by means of at least one partitioning wall (14). In order to provide a reliable and air-free fuel supply to a combustion engine, a valve mechanism (24) is arranged within said partitioning wall (24) which, depending on a filling condition within said main tank compartment (16), is opened or closed in response to sucking-in fuel via said fuel supply line (26).
