<p>12 ABSTRACT Buffer tank (1) for accumulation and deaeration of return fuel for diesel engines, comprising a first inlet (3) which is connected to a return pipe for return fuel from the 5 engine and leads into a return fuel chamber (4) of the buffer tank, an outlet (8) intended to be connected to the engine's fuel inlet via a fuel pump for supply of fuel to the engine from the buffer tank, a second outlet (6) connected to a primary fuel tank for supply of primary fuel to the buffer tank, level regulating means for regulating a fuel level in the buffer tank, and also valve means (10) for evacuation of air supplied to 10 the buffer tank with, inter alia, return fuel. The buffer tank is particularly dist inguished by a first chamber (4) adapted to receiving via said first inlet (3) return fuel for deaeration, by a second chamber (5) adapted to being supplied with return fuel from the first chamber and to being supplied with 15 primary fuel from a primary fuel tank via said level regulating means, the second chamber being connected to said outlet (8) of the buffer tank, and by a third chamber (9) disposed in direct air contact with at least one of the other two chambers (4, 5) and adapted to being deaerated by said valve means (10). 20 The invention also refers to a vehicle.</p> |
