Abstract

In storage containers for fluids, a disperser/diffuser member is positioned between the inner end of the fillpipe and the interior of the container, to cause dispersion of the fluid flowing into the container from the fillpipe during a filling operation. The disperser member has therein a multiplicity of tortuous fluid passages, and may be used in a subterranean storage container, or in a mobile storage and transportation container (tank truck).
