- 5. A fluid reservoir system for a vehicle engine, which engine comprises a plurality of fluid circulation systems, the reservoir system comprising a container, in which the container comprises a plurality of fluid reservoirs, each reservoir comprising at least one fluid inlet port, at least one fluid outlet port and at least one vent port and in which each of said ports comprises a self-sealing coupling adapted to connect to a corresponding coupling on the vehicle engine to thereby connect each reservoir of said container in fluidic communication with a corresponding fluid circulation system of the engine and in which the reservoir system comprises at least one latch which is adapted to retain the reservoirs of said container in fluidic communication with corresponding vehicle engine fluid circulation systems and is remotely operable to disconnect the reservoirs of the container from said vehicle engine fluid circulation systems and in which the system comprises at least one actuator which is connected to one or more of said latches and is adapted to operate said one or more latches.
