11396420 · 2022-07-26 ·

A tank for transporting a liquid is disclosed. In some implementations, the tank includes a carrier having a plurality of compartments, each compartment of the plurality of compartments having an opening for containing one or more baffles. In some implementations, the tank includes a plurality of posts that are securable relative to the tank and configured to support the one or more baffles. In some implementations, the posts are removed from the tank to facilitate installation of the baffles. In some implementations, the posts are rotatable to facilitate installation of the baffles. In some implementations, the tank is a two-piece tank which facilitates access to the one or more baffles.

Trailer for transporting fluid
11192491 · 2021-12-07 · ·

A trailer that includes a tank with an enclosed interior space configured to hold fluid. The trailer can include a chassis that supports the tank and wheels for moving to desired locations. The tank can include planar opposing sides with rounded corners. One or more baffles can be located within the interior space. The baffles restrict the movement of the fluid within the interior space while the trailer is being moved between locations. This restriction reduces the forces that the moving fluid exerts on the tank which could cause damage to the tank that could result in leaks and failure.

One-piece combined plastic urea and fuel tank with baffles, rotomoulded with a special mold heating system

The present invention relates to a plastic tank which provides storing of gasoline and urea liquid called adblue, used in automotive industry, particularly in vehicles which operate with gasoline and which reduces the damage of vehicles, which operate with gasoline, to the environment, in a single tank with two chambers, and relates to a special core heating system designed for production of this tank by using rotation technology.

Fuel device assemblies and vehicles including same for mounting a fuel baffle plate

A fuel device assembly including a valve assembly and a baffle plate, the valve assembly including a valve cover and a first weld plate provided at an upper end of the valve cover coupling the valve assembly to an interior-facing surface a fuel tank of a vehicle, the baffle plate including a body having a plurality of spaced apart holes formed therein and a housing member extending from the body for receiving and lockingly engaging the valve assembly.

Medially stabilized liquid surge suppressor

A medially stabilized surge suppressor has longitudinal members joined together at opposite ends of the members and a medial disk supporting the members. The longitudinal members are fastened to the medial disks by tabs that pass through elongate slots located in the longitudinal members. The longitudinal members each include a number of flow orifices that enable fluid through the flow orifices as well as between the longitudinal members. The end portions of the longitudinal members are joined at each of first and second junctions by a pin and a washer forming a non-rotable connection between them.

Motor vehicle tank subassembly and withdrawal module having a porous conveying body

A motor vehicle tank subassembly for storing and discharging an operating liquid, encompassing a tank having a tank volume, a filling opening a withdrawal opening, and a conveying pump having intake and delivery sides, the intake side connected to the withdrawal opening, a material that forms a pore volume being received in the tank; the material that forms a pore volume, constituting a porous conveying body having a body volume, occupies only part of the tank volume, the porous conveying body embodied to receive liquid stored in the tank in its pore volume utilizing a capillary effect; the porous conveying body having a discharge portion connected to the withdrawal opening such that the withdrawal vacuum at the withdrawal opening brings about in pores of the discharge portion a discharge vacuum that overcomes the capillary effect occurring there; the remainder of the porous conveying body extending away from the discharge portion and the withdrawal opening.

Vehicle fuel-storage tank with anti-slosh elements

A fuel-storage tank for a vehicle includes a body defining an interior volume having a floor and a ceiling and configured to store fuel. The tank further includes an anti-slosh reinforcement column extending between the floor and the ceiling. The anti-slosh reinforcement column has a vertical baffle extending between the floor and the ceiling. The vertical baffle has opposing first and second major faces and edges extending therebetween. A horizontal baffle of the column has upper and lower major faces and edges extending therebetween. The horizontal baffle is rigidly supported on the vertical baffle such that the first and second major faces are substantially perpendicular to the upper and lower major faces.

Methods and systems for diagnosing fuel system degradation

Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing leaks in a fuel system. In one example, a method may include monitoring a fuel level in a vehicle fuel tank of the fuel system during refueling and indicating degradation of the vehicle fuel tank and/or a bellows coupled to the vehicle fuel tank based on the monitored fuel level. In some examples, indicating the degradation may further be based on a rate of fuel supplied to the vehicle fuel tank during the refueling and/or a vehicle fuel economy. In this way, degradation to the vehicle fuel tank and the bellows may be passively determined with minimal specialized components in the fuel system.
