Abstract
Aspects herein are directed to a system that includes a storage tank, a mounting component, and a pump apparatus. The storage tank is configured to be placed within a volume of space between a false floor and an actual floor of a vehicle. The storage tank is further configured to store liquid. The system further includes a mounting component coupled to a first surface of the storage tank. The system also includes a pump apparatus coupled to a second surface of the mounting component. The pump apparatus is also configured to cause the liquid to be extracted from the storage tank and dispersed outside of the storage tank.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a vehicle;
- a first volume of space in the vehicle, the first volume of space being partially defined by a false floor of the vehicle;
- a second volume of space below the first volume of space and below the false floor of the vehicle, the second volume of space being partially defined by the false floor and an actual floor of the vehicle;
- a storage tank within the second volume of space, the storage tank being configured to store liquid;
- and
- a pump apparatus within the second volume of space, the pump apparatus being configured to cause the liquid to be extracted from the storage tank and dispersed outside of the storage tank.
A system comprising:
- a storage tank configured to be placed within a volume of space between a false floor and an actual floor of a vehicle, the storage tank being further configured to store liquid;
- a mounting component coupled to a first surface of the storage tank;
- and
- a pump apparatus coupled to a second surface of the mounting component, the pump apparatus being configured to cause the liquid to be extracted from the storage tank and dispersed outside of the storage tank.
A system comprising:
- a storage tank configured to be placed within a volume of space between a first surface and a second surface of a vehicle, the first surface and the second surface being within an interior section of the vehicle, the interior section being at least partially defined by a floor of the vehicle and a roof of the vehicle, the storage tank being further configured to store liquid;
- a plurality of dividers defining different sections within the storage tank, the plurality of dividers being configured to prevent sloshing of the liquid;
- a pump apparatus configured to cause the liquid to be extracted from the storage tank and dispersed outside of the storage tank;
- and
- a pressure component within the pump apparatus, wherein the pressure component is configured to cause the liquid to be pressurized for the dispersion of the liquid outside of the storage tank.
