NOVELTY - A fuel cell powered vehicle comprises a fuel cell (42) disposed on the vehicle to produce usable electrical energy and water; a fuel tank (44); a holding tank (46) to hold water; a holding tank drain valve in fluid communication with the holding tank; a fueling fitting (48) to sealingly couple to a mating fueling nozzle; and a sensing system (100) to sense fueling nozzle(s) coupled to the fueling fitting and fueling in process, and to open the holding tank drain valve to allow the water to drain when the fueling nozzle coupled to the fueling fitting and fueling in process is sensed.    USE - Fuel cell powered vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The vehicle has an automated system to remove water and eliminate the need for one or more separate steps to discharge the water. The water can be simultaneously drained or discharged from the vehicle holding tank while the vehicle is being refueled.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A fuel cell powered vehicle comprises a fuel cell (42) disposed on the vehicle to produce usable electrical energy and water; a fuel tank (44) disposed on the vehicle to contain a supply of fuel for the fuel cell; a holding tank (46) disposed on the vehicle to hold water; a holding tank drain valve in fluid communication with the holding tank; a fueling fitting (48) disposed on the vehicle to sealingly couple to a mating fueling nozzle; and a sensing system (100) to sense fueling nozzle(s) coupled to the fueling fitting and fueling in process, and to open the holding tank drain valve to allow the water to drain when the fueling nozzle coupled to the fueling fitting and fueling in process is sensed. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for removal of water from a fuel cell powered vehicle, comprising collecting water from the fuel cell in a holding tank; coupling a fueling nozzle to a fueling fitting disposed on the vehicle; sensing the fueling nozzle coupled to the fueling fitting and fueling in process; and filling the fuel tank with fuel while simultaneously discharging the water from the holding tank.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a fuel cell system configured to automatically discharge water generated by the fuel cell.
