Abstract
A fuel tank system includes a fuel tank that has a tank wall defining a fuel storage space. A heat control chamber is formed within the tank wall. A pressure control device can control a pressure within the heat control chamber in response to a difference between a temperature within the fuel storage space and a temperature externally of the tank wall.
