Abstract:
Liquid reservoir systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a liquid reservoir system may capture and retain a fuel reservoir to provide an un-interrupted fuel supply to a fuel pump or pickup line during low fuel conditions such as those that may be experienced during vehicle acceleration, braking or side to side maneuvers. It may also capture and retain a fuel reservoir to provide an un-interrupted fuel supply to a fuel pump or other pickup line during periods of high agitation such as may be experienced during vehicle jumping, cross country/closed course racing and other aggressive driving maneuvers.

Claim (Index 10):
A liquid reservoir structure, comprising:\n an outer top layer and an outer bottom layer, the outer top layer and the outer bottom layer being sealingly connected along their periphery and defining an internal reservoir volume, an inner layer disposed within the outer top layer and the outer bottom layer wherein at least a portion of the outer top layer and the outer bottom layer comprise a permeable material, and said outer layer and said inner layer have different filtration size rates; at least one flexible, permeable, and at least partially collapsible separator positioned between the outer top layer and the outer bottom layer within the internal reservoir volume, the at least one flexible separator maintaining a variable separation between the outer top layer and the outer bottom layer while also being collapsible to allow insertion and removal through a small opening of a fuel tank; an outlet port in the outer top layer and communicating the internal reservoir volume, wherein the outlet port is in communication with the pump by a first pump line; and, an adapter extending through the outlet port of the outer top layer and retained within the internal reservoir by a fastener; wherein liquid is drawn into the internal reservoir volume through the permeable material creating a boundary layer due to surface tension of said liquid on said permeable layer and further wherein said liquid is drawn through the outlet port; and wherein the liquid reservoir is positioned on the lower surface of the tank and the liquid reservoir is configured to be sized to increase a reserve time.
