Multi-tank fuel storage system for refrigerated freight container electric generatore

A multi-tank fuel storage system for a refrigerated freight container generator unit which has a generator unit housing frame which can be mounted to at least one of, a container in a clip-on fashion where said generator unit housing frame extends adjacently forward said container but is spaced behind a truck cab pulling a chassis which supports said container to permit swing clearance of said truck cab, or said chassis supporting the container in an underslung fashion where said generator unit housing frame is extends under said chassis but above the ground over which said chassis extends in a manner providing sufficient ground clearance, the multi-tank fuel storage system comprising:

• a) said generator unit housing frame, including a first fuel storage tank built into said generator unit housing frame;
• b) a separate second fuel storage tank which is nonintegral with said generator unit housing frame, and which, when said housing frame can be mounted to said container in a clip-on fashion, also extends adjacently forward said container but is spaced behind said truck cab pulling said chassis which supports said container to permit swing clearance of said truck cab, and when said housing frame can be mounted to said chassis in an underslung fashion, also extends under said chassis but above the ground over which said chassis extends in a manner providing sufficient ground clearance;
• c) first fluid conduit means coupling said first fuel storage tank and said separate second fuel storage tank;
• and
• d) second fluid conduit means coupling one of said first and second fuel storage tanks and an engine of said generator unit.
