A manifold 100 for use with a fuel delivery vehicle comprises inlet conduits 130 and an outlet port 120, connected in fluid communication through a collector conduit 112. Each inlet conduit has an inlet aperture 132 for coupling to a fuel valve. The inlet apertures are arranged in a common plane. The collector conduit has a ceiling extending along its length, i.e. that part of the internal bore of each collector conduit which in cross-section perpendicular to its length is closest to the common plane. This ceiling is inclined relative to the common plane. In other words, the collector conduit is inclined to enable a separation of the liquid and gaseous phases which minimises gases becoming entrained in the dispensed fuel. The manifold may comprise a sight glass 150 for checking whether the fuel is free of gas before dispensing. The manifold may be used on a compartmented fuel tank.
