    Abstract: An emergency fuel supply system comprising a main fuel tank having a separate internal fuel reservoir which automatically refills itself with a reserve quantity of fresh fuel each time the main tank of the vehicle is refilled. A remotely controlled electric fuel pump or dump valve permits the vehicle operator to selectively jettison the reserve fuel into the main tank, either to provide a reserve supply in an emergency when the fuel in the main tank is depleted, or to empty the reserve tank of possibly stale fuel so that it may be refilled the next time the main tank is refilled.
