1. A reserve fuel tank retention and control (RTRC) module for a vehicle including an engine and a main fuel tank containing a fuel, the RTRC module comprising:
a fuel supply hose adapted to fluidly connect the RTRC module and the engine;
a fuel intake hose adapted to fluidly connect the RTRC module and the main fuel tank;
a reserve fuel tank having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is coupled to the fuel intake hose and the outlet is coupled to the fuel supply hose;
a first fluid circuit fluidly connecting the fuel supply hose and the fuel intake hose with a first check-valve therebetween, the first check-valve allowing flow of the fuel from the fuel intake hose to the fuel supply hose;
a second fluid circuit fluidly connecting the fuel supply hose and the fuel intake hose, the second fluid circuit including a second check-valve between the fuel intake hose and the reserve fuel tank and a valve arranged directly between the reserve fuel tank and the fuel supply hose, wherein the reserve fuel tank is fluidly coupled with the fuel intake hose and configured to receive fuel from the main fuel tank; and
an actuator operable to open the valve to allow fuel to flow from the reserve fuel tank to the engine.
