Abstract
A reservoir for a hydraulic suspension system for a motor vehicle has two vents disposed diagonally opposite relative to the direction of travel of the vehicle. A level sensor and filter are formed which fit together and to the reservoir, with the level sensor extending through and beneath the filter. The bottom of the reservoir tapers so as to direct hydraulic fluid toward the hydraulic fluid pick-up of a pump which is mounted in a sidewall of the reservoir.
