<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact support device of economical mounting and long service time for a vehicle using liquefied gas as power source. <P>SOLUTION: The support device is provided with a fuel feeding line 1 connected to an exchangeable gas cylinder 11 storing liquefied gas, a fuel supply line 2 and a support supply line 3 connected to a drive motor 12 for the vehicle, and a support vessel 4 to which the fuel feeding line 1 opens and to which the fuel supply line 2 and the support supply line open at an upper portion and at a lower portion respectively. When contents of the gas cylinder 11 gets small, an empty indication sensor 5 issues warning signal and servo signal to control a stop valve 6. Most part of the support vessel 4 is surrounded by a heat insulator 7 inhibiting liquefied gas in the support vessel 4 from boiling and protecting a liquefied gas reservoir 17. The stop valve 6 regulates passing in the fuel supply line 2 and is controlled by the empty indication sensor 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
