blow-molded fuel tanks

blow-molded fuel tanks for reliable OEM equipment use

Blow-molded fuel tanks are formed in one step with hollow blow molding, making the tank lightweight while providing good impact resistance and fatigue performance, suitable for construction machinery, generator sets, landscaping machinery, and light vehicles.

Description

Blow-molded fuel tanks can be customized in shape, port locations, and capacity to fit limited spaces on vehicles or equipment, while meeting anti-permeation, oil-resistant, and weather-resistant requirements.

Core features:

  1. Lightweight and high strength: The hollow integrated structure reduces weight while maintaining sufficient drop, vibration, and pressure resistance.
  2. Custom fit: Shape and the positions/sizes of filler, outlet, and vent ports can be tailored to installation space, matching different models and routing.
  3. Oil resistance and anti-permeation: Optional multi-layer barrier structures or oil-resistant formulations reduce permeation and evaporation risk, meeting emissions and safety requirements.
  4. Weather and chemical resistance: Supports UV-resistant, low-temperature, and chemical-resistant material options to suit outdoor and demanding conditions.
  5. Fluid and safety design: Can include baffles, sight windows, or reserved level-sensor ports to enhance safety and maintenance convenience.
  6. Stable process: Wall-thickness control and local thickening are available to meet pressure-bearing and mounting reinforcement needs.

Application scenarios:

  1. Construction machinery: Fuel tanks for excavators, loaders, small rollers, and similar equipment.
  2. Generator sets and power equipment: Fuel tanks for portable or stationary generators and pump units.
  3. Landscaping and small machinery: Fuel tanks for mowers, tillers, blowers, and other small power equipment.
  4. Light vehicles: Auxiliary fuel tanks for small trucks, micro-cars, and electric-assist hybrid devices.
  5. Other custom needs: Lightweight, anti-permeation fuel containers with constrained shapes.

Customization and options for blow-molded fuel tanks:

  1. Sizes and capacities: Capacity and geometry tailored to overall runtime needs and installation space.
  2. Structure and interfaces: Optional baffles and ribs; custom threaded or quick-connect interfaces; filler, return, overflow, and vent designs.
  3. Materials and barriers: Single-layer or multi-layer barrier (e.g., EVOH) solutions; oil-resistant, weather-resistant, and flame-retardant formulations available.
  4. Monitoring and accessories: Reserved ports for level sensors, sight windows, lugs/mounts, drain ports, etc.
  5. Colors and markings: Custom colors, scales, labels, or screen printing to differentiate fuel types and maintenance markings.
