摘要 |
The invention proposes a fuel tank of the type including a main pumping compartment (14) connected to the fuel supply circuit of an internal combustion engine (10), a complementary compartment (18) connected to the main pumping compartment (14), means (22) for transferring fuel from the complementary compartment (18) into the main pumping compartment (14), the source of energy for which is constituted by a return flow of fuel conveyed into the complementary compartment (18) via a fuel return pipe (20), characterised in that the transfer means (22) include a transfer pump (42) driven by a drive turbine (24), the wheel (36) of which includes fins (vanes) (34) which are subject to the action of the return flow of fuel, the transfer pump (42) being an impeller pump, the shaft (38) of which is common to that of the wheel (36) of the drive turbine (24). <IMAGE>
