Abstract:
A fuel tank in a vehicle. The fuel tank includes a protective outer shell, an inner shell and a crush sleeve. The protective outer shell defines an outer tank. The inner shell defines an inner tank which holds fuel. The inner shell is housed in the outer shell and is isolated from the outer shell by a space. The crush sleeve is provided in the space between the outer shell and the inner shell. The crush sleeve supports the inner shell and maintains the inner shell in position relative to the outer shell. Wherein during an impact to the vehicle, the force of the impact causes the outer shell and the crush sleeve to deform and the inner shell to move relative to the outer shell.

Claim (Index 19):
A fuel tank for use in a vehicle, the fuel tank comprising:\n a protective outer shell; an inner shell which holds fuel, the inner shell housed in the outer shell, the inner shell being isolated from the outer shell; a hazard control material provided in the space between the outer shell and the inner shell, the hazard control material is a fire extinguishant or a fire suppressant material; wherein the inner shell is captured by the outer shell and prevented from movement relative to the vehicle and the outer shell prior to an impact to the vehicle; wherein during an impact to the vehicle, a first portion of energy associated with the impact is absorbed by the outer shell, thereby reducing a second portion of the energy transferred to the inner shell.
