Abstract
A replenishing-type liquid storage tank includes a tank body, and a backpressure application member. Liquid is replenishable in the tank body and the tank body is configured to store the liquid therein. The backpressure application member is accommodated in the tank body to apply backpressure to the liquid stored in the tank body. The backpressure application member has a lower end positioned at a height equal to or lower than a liquid level of a minimum amount of liquid required to be stored in the tank body for enabling the backpressure application member to apply backpressure to the liquid stored in the tank body.
