A tank which is primarily intended for spraying applications and mountable on an all terrain vehicle ("ATV"). The tank (10) includes a main tank section (11) which, in use, extends laterally of the ATV and at least one longitudinally extending arm 12. The pump assembly is located in a cavity (14) in the underside of the main tank section (11). A cover (15) can cover the cavity (14) to mount the pump assembly in place. The tank (10) can include a removable auxiliary tank (21).

A tank with an overlying gun which is mounted in a cradle disposed on the crew turret also includes a loading pendulum which is disposed on a journal ring and pivotal in relation to the crew turret. The loading pendulum and the gun are asymmetrically journalled, such that the positions of the gun and the loading pendulum are dependent upon the elevation/depression of the gun. The gun is longitudinally/vertically displaced in the plane of elevation on elevation/depression. This is achieved in tha...

A jacketed tank having a cylindrical body closed at the top by a dome and having a lower conical part with the apex directed downwardly. The surface of the cylindrical body and of the lower conical part is provided with several horizontal rows of refrigerating or heating pockets with each row being individually connected to supply circuits with at least two pockets connected in series.

Liquid containes made from certain ethylene copolymers have been found to leak less, swell and wrap less than conventional plastic liquid containes. The invention therefore provides the use of an ethylene and at least one C.sub.3-10 .alpha.-olefin copolymer having the following properties: i) MFR.sub.2=2 10; ii) MFR.sub.21/MFR.sub.2=15 20; iii) density --925 950 g/cm.sup.3; iv) molecular weight distribution Mw/MN=2.1 3.5 in the manufacture of a liquid container.

Apparatus for the filling of a tank with a volatile liquid includes a delivery pipe having a pair of tubular distribution members hinged to the lower end thereof. The distribution members may hinge between an insertion position where they lie parallel to the axis of the delivery pipe and a deployed position where the members are co-axial but extending normally to the axis of the delivery pipe. When in their insertion position, the distribution members as well as the delivery pipe may be passed t...

A fuel tank largely filled with a plurality of discrete impermeably walled cells, the cells and the space between them and the tank sides and roof being substantially filled with fire protective reticulated structure. The cells are each plugged into one of a plurality of fuel collection networks, via non-return valves which prevent return flow of the fuel into the cells. The region between the cells and the tank walls is arranged to receive incoming fuel which then flows from the ullage into the...

A clarifier tank having a center column is provided with a center-driven bottom rake mechanism for settled sludge removal, a rotating scum rake mechanism comprised of pipes with longitudinal openings for scum removal via the center column, the rake mechanisms rotating in the same or opposite directions at different speeds, and submerged effluent pipes projecting from the sidewall of the tank toward the center of the tank to drain the clarified sewage into an effluent launder exterior of the tank...

The invention relates to a storage tank comprising an endless wall formed of a plurality of overlapping panel members with at least one endless support strap extending substantially horizontally around the endless wall, wherein each panel member comprises a loop having an endless support strap extending therethrough. The invention also relates to a substantially flat panel member comprising a plurality of upright raised ribs and an integral loop arranged to receive, in use, a substantially horiz...

This invention relates to transportable tanks that comprise a base, a wall and one or more inflatable tubes that form part of the wall. The invention is concerned with making the inflatable tube support the wall in a more efficient manner than hitherto and also to form the tank into a polygonal shape, such as a rectangle. The tubular member is reinforced or supported by flexible members which are so located and relatively crossed that the tube acts as a float when the tank is filled with water a...
