How are fuel tanks manufactured?
- Material Selection: Fuel tanks are typically made from metals like steel or aluminum, or plastics like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for corrosion resistance and lightweight.
- Design and Prototyping: The tank is designed to fit specific requirements, and a model is created to verify whether it meets functional and safety requirements.
- Cutting and Shaping: Materials are cut to shape, with metal tanks shaped from sheet metal, and plastic tanks molded.
- Welding and Joining: This is where metal pieces get welded, while plastic bits are either fused or glued together.
- Assembly: Adding components such as fuel senders, vents, and pumps, making sure everything is tightly sealed to avoid any leaks.
- Surface Treatment: The tanks get a special coating to protect them from rust or sun damage.
- Testing and Quality Control: putting the tanks through rigorous tests for leaks, pressure, and overall toughness to ensure they’re up to par with safety regulations.
- Finishing: After inspection, the tanks are cleaned, labeled, and ready.
