Abstract
In order to prevent hydraulic fluid infiltrating out from a hydraulic fluid tank (1) when a vehicle is in operation, the invention provides for the tank to be compartmentalized by an anti-overflow partition (16). The anti-overflow partition is made in such a manner as to hold air captive inside the tank in the vicinity of a feed orifice (11) at a location placed in a top portion of said anti-overflow partition.
