摘要：A vehicular fuel tank assembly comprising a steel outer container and a pliableinner member such as a liner or diaphragm having a plurality of circular folds in asubstantially horizontal wall portion thereof to permit the center of the wall to collapsetelescopically and vertically relative to the bottom of the container as fuel is exhaustedfrom the tank assembly. This telescopic collapse provides volumetric variation in the fuelstorage area and further provides variable anti-slosh baffling for the unused fuel. Acontrol valve regulates air flow into and out of the exhausted space between thecontainer and the internal member. Fuel gaging is accomplished by monitoring thedisplacement of the collapsible internal member portion relative to the container. Thecontainer is mounted on the vehicle to permit limited damped longitudinal displacementunder abnormally high acceleration load conditions.
