摘要： An improved deck fill for use according to the present invention comprises a vented deck fill with a body, a fuel throat, a vent throat, and a single pressure regulating valve. Use of the single pressure regulating valve increases engine performance by reducing a pressure necessary to push the single pressure regulating valve into an open configuration. This disclosure additionally relates to a method for the installation of the vented deck fill by way of a single hole installation. This is facilitated by an elliptical circumference of the vent throat and fuel throat, thereby allowing the vent throat and fuel throat to be closer together, reducing the necessary size for the single installation hole. This disclosure relates to non-vented deck fills utilizing a floating puck assembly, and to a low-profile fuel cap for vented and non-vented deck fills utilizing a push button latch and hinge clearance scallops.

摘要： A dual-fuel tank houses one or more compressed natural gas (CNG) vessels and one or more diesel fuel vessels. The diesel fuel vessels are generally disposed laterally outwardly from the CNG vessels to provide a buffer that protects the CNG vessels from side impacts. The dual-fuel tank may be retrofit onto a diesel locomotive in place of the locomotive's diesel fuel tank to convert the locomotive into a dual-fuel locomotive. The dual-fuel tank may be provided in a ship.

摘要： A sealed and thermally insulative tank includes thermal installation including a plurality of juxtaposed insulation blocks on the supporting structure and a seal including a plurality of sealing metal plates disposed on the insulation blocks and welded to each other. Mechanical coupling members extend through the thermal insulation at the level of the edges of the insulation blocks and hold the insulation blocks in bearing engagement on the supporting structure. The metal plates are disposed so that the edges of the metal plates are offset relative to the edges of the underlying insulation blocks. The metal plates are held in bearing engagement on the insulation blocks only by the coupling members. The mechanical coupling members are attached to the metal plates at the level of attachment points away from the edges of the metal plates.
