Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wave suppression structure for a fuel tank is provided in which a wave suppression member ( 37 ) disposed in the interior of a tank main body of the fuel tank is formed from a basket-shaped container ( 38 ) and cylindrical porous members ( 39 ), the basket-shaped container ( 38 ) being formed from two members, first and second half bodies ( 38 L, 38 R), two of the porous members ( 39 ) being supported in the interior of each of the first and second half bodies ( 38 L, 38 R), wherein the wave supporting member ( 37 ) is supported on a fuel suction pipe ( 36 ) by joining the first and second half bodies ( 38 L, 38 R) of the basket-shaped container ( 38 ) so as to sandwich a fuel suction pipe ( 36 ) between a through hole ( 38 f ) thereof. This enables attachment of the wave suppression member ( 37 ) to the fuel suction pipe ( 36 ) to be completed without carrying out a cumbersome operation of inserting the fuel suction pipe ( 36 ) through the through hole ( 38 f ) of the basket-shaped container ( 38 ) or the interior of the porous member ( 39 ), thereby greatly improving the ease of attachment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fuel tank comprising a wave suppression structure, and a tank main body, said wave suppression structure comprising a wave suppression member including a basket-shaped container; a hollow porous member housed in said basket-shaped container, and having a large number of holes formed therein for giving resistance to passage of fuel; and porous member support projections projectingly provided on the basket-shaped container so as to form an overal…
