  • Patent number: 9399395
    Abstract: A tank (10) including a container (15) and a flow line (20) for discharging excess fuel. Said flow line (20) is provided with a pipe (21) and an over-pressure valve (24) arranged inside the container (15). In addition, the tank (10) includes a leaktight bell (30) arranged inside said container, said bell (30) being over the over-pressure valve (24) and surrounding the over-pressure valve (24) at least in part so as to hold air captive in order to isolate the over-pressure valve (24) from the fuel content when said pressure is below said threshold.

  • Patent number: 9162772
    Abstract: A storage tank (25) of a storage system. The storage tank (25) includes a container (30) and a dynamic ventilation line (35) incorporated therein, said dynamic ventilation line (35) being provided with an air-no-fuel valve (45) that shuts off in the presence of fuel, the air-no-fuel valve (45) communicating with an internal space (INT) of the container (30) via an upstream pipe (40) placed inside the container (30), a downstream pipe (50) secured to a wall (31) of the container (30) extending from the air-no-fuel valve (45) and opening out into a dynamic air intake (53) communicating with the outside air (200), said storage tank having at least one communication orifice (300) for communicating with other tanks.

  • Patent number: 9114974
    Abstract: A pressure-filling system (10) for filling a tank (2) and including a pressure-filling valve (11). The pressure-filling system (10) comprises a filling pipe (13) having a first end (13?) that is connected to said pressure-filling valve (11), and a second end (13?) that is connected to a check valve (14) that opens out into said tank (2), said filling pipe (13) being connected to a purge system (20) that opens out into said tank (2) so as to discharge a fluid contained in the filling pipe (13), said filling pipe (13) being connected to a branch pipe (15) that opens out to the open air (100) for dumping excess fluid from a tank in the event of excess pressure in the tank.
