| 摘要 | A fuel introducing member is connected to an opening end of a siphon pipe forming a fuel tank. The fuel introducing member has an opening for introducing fuel within the tank, and the opening is formed in the upper surface of a cover section. A lid body is pivotably mounted to the upper surface. When the opening is above the level of fuel, the lid body closes the opening by the weight of the lid body, and when the opening is below the level of the fuel, the lid body floats in the fuel to open the opening. The opening is located below the upper end of the inner diameter of the opening end of the siphon pipe. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A fuel tank including: a first reservoir for storing fuel; a second reservoir for storing the fuel; and a siphon tube which extends between the first reservoir and the second reservoir and which is evacuated by a negative pressure generator; said siphon tube having at least one open end disposed in one of the first reservoir and the second reservoir; the fuel tank comprising: a fuel introducing member, an upper surface of the fuel introducing member being connected to said at least one open end of the siphon tube; wherein the fuel introducing member comprises: a base assembly having an opening defined in the upper surface thereof for introducing the fuel therethrough; and a lid closing the opening under its own weight of the lid when the opening is positioned above the liquid level of the fuel, wherein the fuel introducing member is of a three-dimensional shape which is short in a height direction compared to width and length directions thereof; wherein an axis of said opening formed in the base assembly is parallel to the height direction of the fuel introducing member; wherein said at least one open end of the siphon tube is oriented substantially parallel to a bottom surface of said one of the first reservoir and the second reservoir; and wherein the opening formed in said base assembly is disposed below an upper end portion and above a lower end portion of the at least one open end of the siphon tube. | ||
