A vent system includes a vent stack for venting a tank fluid from a fuel tank that is external to the vent stack, during fuelling of the fuel tank. The vent stack includes a conduit including a conduit inlet and a conduit outlet, the conduit outlet opening to atmosphere external to the conduit. The vent stack also includes an opening into the conduit between the conduit inlet and the conduit outlet. The opening is fluidically connected, or connectable, to the fuel tank so the tank fluid from the fuel tank flows through the opening to the conduit outlet, in use. The vent stack also includes a fluid mover operable to cause a mixer fluid receivable in the conduit inlet to flow through the conduit towards the conduit outlet, thereby to mix the mixer fluid with the tank fluid in the conduit, upstream of the conduit outlet.
A vent system comprising:
A method of venting a tank fluid from a fuel tank to atmosphere external to the fuel tank using a vent system, the vent system comprising:
