Abstract: The invention relates to a reservoir (1) for containing a fluid under pressure and which can be accommodated in a compartment which is comprised of parallelepiped volumes. The inventive reservoir (2) consists of at least two opposing arched walls, (12) whereby the edges of said walls curve inwards towards the inside of the reservoir according to a substantially arc shaped profile, in addition to a reinforcement (9) which is provided with a seat (15) at each end, whereby said seat is bellmouthed according to the same arc shaped profile as that of the shaft (12) so that it can be adjusted inside the corresponding shaft of each of the two walls (2) that are disposed opposite to the reservoir and maintain the distance between both walls. The seat (15) of the reinforcements (9) is applied to a portion of the shaft (12) in which it is inserted. The invention can be used with LPG vehicles.

Abstract: The invention concerns a vehicle tank designed to contain a pressurised liquid, consisting of an assembly of metal elements (21 to 2n) produced by swaging, integral with one another, and a base (15, 16) directly mounted on each of the end elements. Each of the elements has the form of a cup and defines an open volume of a particular shape. Each cup comprises a side wall (3) and a base (4) provided with perforations arranged in a particular manner. The invention is useful for making tanks for LPG vehicles.

Abstract: The invention concerns a tank (1) designed to contain a fluid under pressure, having an external polyhedral shape whereof the walls constitute a sandwich structure providing it with a multidirectional resistance to pressure. The sandwich structure of the walls is formed by an outer skin (2) and an inner skin (4) made from a compact material and by a core (3) made from a porous or alveolate material, said core (3) being enclosed on its outer surface by said outer skin and on its inner surface by said inner skin (4) The wall sandwich structure is made from a honeycomb or foam material. The invention is applicable to motor vehicles.
