Abstract:
An emergency recovery system for fluid transporting tanks wherein a pair of valves are mounted through the tank wall, preferably along the upper surface and extending from each valve is a conduit, the two conduits extend along opposite internal surfaces of the tank, substantially at 180. degree. from each other and terminating at a point along the surface, preferably about the widest point in the cross section of the tank, such that if the tank is capsized onto its side, which is most usually the capsized position, one of the conduits will be at the deepest point and can be used to remove the fluids from the tank through the valve associated with that conduit. The other conduit and valve may be used as a relief valve as the fluid is removed from the first valve.
