  • Fuel tank assembly
    Patent number: 8727173
    Abstract: A baffle system for guiding fuel stored within a fuel tank is disclosed. The baffle system may include first and second baffle walls. Each of the first and second baffle walls may be formed from inner, intermediate, and outer portions. Each inner portion may extend from the respective intermediate portion. Each outer portion may extend from the respective intermediate portion, with an angle at a junction of the outer and intermediate portions being between approximately 120 degrees and 150 degrees. The first and second baffles walls may form a partially-closed volume with the first and second inner and intermediate portions, where the partially-closed volume may be configured to retain fuel guided into the volume by the first and second outer portions.
    Type: Grant
