MAN Aluminum Fuel Tank 515X615X1050 300L

The fuel tank is the area where the fuel necessary for vehicle operation is stored to be delivered to the engine. The fuel required for vehicle propulsion is safely stored here and fed to the engine during driving.

Types and Features of Fuel Tanks

Fuel tanks are designed and manufactured to fulfill their fuel storage function. To fulfill these necessary storage functions, they must possess certain material properties and appropriate systems. The main systems required in a vehicle’s fuel tank are listed below:

Fuel Tank Filling Nozzle: Filling the fuel tank must be done properly through the filler neck.
Fuel Protection: The fuel tank must be constructed from the most suitable material for the type of fuel and meet appropriate manufacturing standards to prevent leakage or evaporation.
Fuel Level Measurement: The level of liquid or gas in the fuel tank must be measured and observed using on-board gauges.
Ventilation System: If the fuel expands or evaporates, overpressure must be relieved using safety valves.
Engine Delivery System: Fuel must reach the engine through the fuel pumps and intake systems.

All these processes are performed using various devices located on the tank. For the systems in the fuel tank to function smoothly, the fuel tank must meet specific production and quality standards. With over 40 years of experience, KMD is one of the leading companies in the industry in the production of truck and trailer fuel tanks.
