Abstract
A hydraulic fluid reservoir is provided on a vehicle for containing fluid for use in the hydraulic system of the vehicle. The hydraulic reservoir is mounted between an upright wall forming a part of the vehicle operator's station and the backside of a water-cooled internal combustion engine. Coupled to the engine on the side remote from the reservoir is a blower-type fan. The reservoir is provided with a centrally located air duct means aligned with the engine and blower fan and the reservoir is so located that the engine-driven fan draws air around and through the reservoir to provide forced convection cooling of the fluid contained in the reservoir. The air duct means are so located relative to outlet and inlet ports of the reservoir that fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet port will be deflected or baffled by the duct means.
