A combined oil tank and oil accumulator vessel (1) having an internal chamber, and a moveable spring-loaded barrier (3) within the internal chamber defining a low pressure oil tank portion (10) and a high pressure accumulator portion (14) separated by the moveable barrier (3). The combined oil tank/accumulator provides the advantages of more consistent oil flow supply as a result of the integral accumulator, but with reduced weight, reduced oil volume requirements, and constant oil levels when compared with conventional external accumulators.
