Reservoir unit

Abstract

In a reservoir unit for use in a marine vessel, in order to prevent in a simple structure water having accumulated on the bottom of the fuel tank from entering the reservoir or, even if the water enters the reservoir, to make possible its draining, an opening is bored in the bottom plate of the reservoir to be installed in the fuel tank for the marine vessel, and elevating legs are provided on the outer face of the bottom plate. Further an extension cylinder extending upwards from the reservoir is fixed to the reservoir, a cylindrical portion extending downwards is formed on the upper subunit, and the cylindrical portion and the extension cylinder are fitted one inside the other to make the distance between the reservoir and the upper subunit variable. In addition, the reservoir is so structured as to have on the inner face of its bottom plate a slope inclined downwards towards the opening.
