Abstract
A fuel reservoir comprises a tank having a base wall and side walls. In order to minimize the accumulation of water in the tank two pick-up pipes, are provided which are connected together to an outlet pipe. The first pick-up pipe extends to adjacent the base wall of the tank and the second pick-up pipe to some distance above the base wall. In use fuel and water will be drawn through the outlet pipe and in the event that the water in the tank freezes fuel can be drawn through the second pick-up pipe.
