Abstract

See full text

Systems to store and agitate fuel can include a fuel storage tank and a fuel agitation system coupled to the fuel storage tank and operable to agitate a fuel that is stored in the fuel storage tank. The fuel agitation system can include an elongate fuel agitation member with a lumen, an air passageway in pneumatic communication with the elongate fuel agitation member, and a circular disk connected to the elongate fuel agitation member and having a plurality of valves. The air passageway can be coupled to the elongate fuel agitation member by a rotational coupling located in the fuel tank and pneumatically actuated by air flow from the air passageway to cause the elongate fuel agitation member to rotate. Each of the plurality of valves can be in pneumatic communication with the elongate fuel agitation member to release air into the fuel in the fuel storage tank.
