Abstract: A fluid tank (20) has at least two deaeration ports (24,25) provided in at least two upper regions of the tank. A first conduit (30) is connected at one end to one deaeration port (24) and connected at its other end to a compensating reservoir (50) at a higher level. At least one additional conduit (40) is connected at one end to an other deaeration port (25) and also connected at its other end to the compensating reservoir (50). A filter (60) is connected with the upper part of the reservoir to allow air to escape from the reservoir. The height of the compensating reservoir (50) above the tank (20) ensures that the filter (60) is protected from immersion in tank fluid and deaeration is ensured at normal working inclinations of the tank. The tank may be provided by part of the chassis of a tractor which is located below a cab of the tractor.
