<p>PCT No. PCT/GB96/02506 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 10, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 10, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 14, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/14646 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 24, 1997Apparatus for the filling of a tank with a volatile liquid includes a delivery pipe having a pair of tubular distribution members hinged to the lower end thereof. The distribution members may hinge between an insertion position where they lie parallel to the axis of the delivery pipe and a deployed position where the members are co-axial but extending normally to the axis of the delivery pipe. When in their insertion position, the distribution members as well as the delivery pipe may be passed through the conventional fill-pipe of the tank, the distribution members then hinging to their deployed position as the lower end of the delivery pipe approaches the bottom of the tank. The delivery pipe is in communication with the interior of the distribution members when the latter are in their deployed position. Holes are formed along the length of each distribution member so that volatile liquid fed down the delivery pipe in the tank is distributed throughout the area of the tank, so minimizing turbulence of liquid already in the tank.</p> |
