A fuel container and delivery apparatus is provided which also allows for
removal of effluents from the fuel cell. The fuel container and delivery
apparatus includes a first flexible bladder containing fuel for a liquid
feed fuel cell. The fuel container and delivery assembly is fitted with a
pressure-applying element that exerts a continuous pressure upon the
fuel-containing flexible bladder in such a manner that the fuel is
expressed through a conduit in the container to the direct oxidation fuel
cell. In addition, the assembly includes a second bladder that is
provided to receive effluent from the fuel cell such as carbon dioxide
and unreacted fuel and water from the anode side, and water from the
cathode side, or a combination of both.
