Abstract
A fuel refilling system may comprise a fueling station, a fuel tank, and a recirculation module in selective fluid communication with one another. The fuel refilling system may comprise a control module configured to generate one or more signals for controlling flow rates of the fuel into and out of the fuel tank, so as to remove and direct a first portion of heated fuel from the fuel tank to the recirculation module, and replace the first portion of heated fuel that is removed from the fuel tank with incoming cooler fuel received from the fueling station and/or the recirculation module. Convective mixing of the cooled fuel with the remaining heated fuel in the fuel tank may cause a temperature of the fuel mixture in the fuel tank to reduce. Accordingly, a filling capacity of the fuel tank may be increased as a result of the temperature reduction in the fuel mixture in the fuel tank.
