TANK-ENTLUEFTUNGSVORRICHTUNG

摘要

An air breather device for a tank includes a fuel tank for a road vehicle disposed in the frame of the vehicle and an air breather pipe disposed along the lateral side of the fuel tank perpendicular to the fore and aft direction of the frame. A first opening at one extremity of the air breather is disposed in an air space in the fuel tank while a second opening at the other extremity of the air breather is opened to the atmosphere. The air breather passes through the wall of the fuel tank and the first opening is situated in the neighborhood of the inner wall of the fuel tank opposite from the second opening. In this way even if the vehicle turns over on its right or left side, part of the air breathing pipe will remain disposed above the fuel or oil level such that the fuel or oil will be prevented from leaking from the tank.
