摘要

The invention relates to a mobile or replaceable liquid fuel tank system for trucks, for example such as the large trucks used in the mining industry, said system solving the costs, times and risks involved in the conventional form of loading fuel in trucks provided with a stationary tank. The system consists of a main structure (1) which is secured to a predetermined truck; said main structure (1) consists of a box (2) which defines a cubic space such that the inside thereof houses a cartridge or receptacle (3) intended for containing liquid fuels for supplying said truck; a reserve tank (4) intended for receiving liquid fuel from said cartridge (3) is defined in the lower portion of the main structure (1); the main structure (1) includes means (5) for connecting to said cartridge (3) such that the liquid fuel from the latter fills said reserve tank (4); and said main structure (1) comprises hydraulic and electronic connection means (6) that are used for allowing the passage of the fuel to be supplied to the truck, as well as for controls and sensors arranged in said structure for the correct operation thereof.
