Zusammenfassung:A reservoir assembly 10 having a first inner cavity 40 adapted to receive and store pressurized fuel and being arranged so that when pressure reaches a predetermined first threshold, the volume wherein is stored the pressurized fuel increases. The reservoir assembly may comprise an insert member that is slightly compressible under high pressure, or a flexible balloon (58, Fig. 4) that collapses under pressure. The balloon may be filled with fuel, and a valve may be provided to facilitate fluid communication between the first inner cavity 40 and a second inner cavity 42 when the fluid pressure in the first cavity reaches the predetermined first threshold.
