Abstract
A flexible diaphragm can be moved to line opposite surfaces of a vehicle container so that incompatible fluids alternately can be transported in the vehicle without the need for cleaning it. The edge of the diaphragm may be held against the inside surface of the vehicle container by a clamp. The terminal edge of the diaphragm contacts an abutment around its entire periphery. The clamp extends over the diaphragm terminal edge and the abutment.
