Abstract:
A vehicle including a pressurized liquid fuel system includes a first pressurized liquid fuel tank arrangement, a second pressurized liquid feel tank arrangement, and a balancing conduit open to a first fuel tank and to a second fuel tank at least one of above a maximum liquid level of the first fuel tank and a maximum liquid level of the second fuel tank and below a minimum liquid level of the first fuel tank and a minimum liquid level of the second fuel tank. A first return line and a second return line to the first and second fuel tanks are configured such that a pressure drop across the first, return line from a pressurized liquid fuel circulation system to the first fuel tank is adapted to be the same as a pressure drop across the second return line from the pressurized liquid fuel circulation system to the second fuel tank. Methods for operating a pressurized liquid fuel system are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for operating a pressurized liquid fuel system, comprising:\n circulating pressurized liquid fuel through fuel system components including a circulation system; pumping pressurized liquid fuel from a first pressurized liquid fuel tank via first fuel pump to the circulation system through a first feed line connected to the circulation system while also pumping pressurized liquid fuel from a second pressurized liquid fuel tank to the circulation system via a second fuel pump through a second feed line connected to the circulation system; returning pressurized liquid fuel to the first pressurized liquid fuel tank from the circulation system through a first return line connected to the circulation system while also returning pressurized liquid fuel to the second pressurized liquid fuel tank from the circulation system through a second return line connected to the circulation system; and balancing pressure in the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank by\n permitting flow between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank through a balancing conduit open to the first fuel tank and to the second fuel tank at least one of above a maximum liquid level of the first fuel tank and a maximum liquid level of the second fuel tank and below a minimum liquid level of the first fuel tank and a minimum level of the second fuel tank, and \n adjusting pressure drop across at least one of the first return line from the circulation system to the first fuel tank and the second return line from the circulation system to the second fuel tank so that pressure drop across the first return line from the circulation system to the first fuel tank is different from pressure drop across the second return line from the circulation system to the second fuel tank such that pressure in the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank is balanced.
