Tank for storing pressurized hydrocarbons
First Claim
1. A storage system for pressurized fluid fuel for an engine of a vehicle, said system comprising:
- inlet and monitoring means for said pressurized fluid fuel in said system,several containers comprising at least one inlet orifice,transfer lines for said pressurized fluid fuel, said transfer lines connecting the inlet and monitoring means to at least one of the inlet orifices of said containers, andsaid inlet and monitoring means being designed to allow simultaneously, during at least part of filling of the system, the pressurized fluid fuel to pass freely between said inlet and monitoring means and at least two containers;
each container having a cylindrical part with two ends, said cylindrical part being comprised of a corrugated internal sheath having hollow parts, said hollow parts of said corrugated internal sheath being filled with a reinforcing element.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for storing fluid under pressure comprising means for admitting fluid into and monitoring fluid in the system (15, Vr), several containers (2, 3, 4) having at least one inlet orifice (10) and transfer lines for said fluid (5, 6, 7), said lines connecting the inlet and monitoring means to at least one of the inlet orifices 10 of said containers. The inlet and monitoring means Vr are designed to allow simultaneously, during at least part of the filling, fluid to pass freely between said inlet and monitoring means and at least two containers. The containers are short, light, reinforced tubular structures. The device has an auxiliary container 43 that can store hydrocarbon coming from one of the containers.
