An article enclosing at least one built-in fitment component in the form of a hollow body of thermoplastic material. The hollow body is preferably in the form of a fuel tank. The built-in fitment component is pressed against the inside wall of the article while still plastic so that the plastic material of the hollow body penetrates through at least one recess or opening of the built-in fitment component and flows therebehind.

Disclosed is a grid-shaped fuel tank, which belongs to the field of vehicle parts. The grid-shaped fuel tank includes a fuel tank shell, wherein the fuel tank shell encloses a cavity comprising a fuel cavity, and the fuel tank shell comprises an upper shell area in an upper portion, a middle shell area in a middle portion and a lower shell area in a lower portion; the cavity is internally provided with a middle grid rib structure corresponding to a height area of a middle shell, the middle grid rib structure partitions a middle portion of the cavity into a plurality of middle grid cavities, the middle grid cavities do not communicate in a radial direction, and a bottom end of a first middle grid cavity group comprised in the middle grid cavities is provided with fuel passing ports for mutual communication to form the fuel cavity.

Disclosed is a urea tank and fuel tank assembly, which belongs to the field of automobile parts. The urea tank and fuel tank assembly includes a shell, wherein the shell includes an upper shell, a middle shell and a lower shell, the upper shell, the middle shell and the lower shell are welded separately to form a cavity including a fuel cavity. The urea tank and fuel tank assembly is welded after injection molding, so that not only is the shell uniform in wall thickness and high in mechanical strength, but also the welding stress is dispersed to the upper and lower ends of the shell by setting that the upper shell, the middle shell and the lower shell are welded separately, on the one hand, the stress concentration of the welded part of the shell is reduced and the cracking of the welded part is avoided.

The disclosure relates to a storage tank for a vehicle for storing fluids, including an inner envelope surface defining an inner volume for storing fluids, and at least one wall which is releasably attached to the inner envelope surface and defines a fluid barrier for fluid in the inner volume, wherein the inner envelope surface is cylinder-formed and wherein the at least one wall is associated with a radial plane of the cylinder-formed inner envelope surface, wherein the at least one wall is configured to be moved inside the inner volume to change a volume size of the inner volume and/or to change volume sizes of sub-volumes of the inner volume. The disclosure also relates to a vehicle.

A liquid tank including an internal network of cells. The cells are configured such that in use, movement of liquid between adjacent cells of the network of cells is prevented or retarded such that under conditions of liquid movement within the tank, kinetic energy transferred from the liquid to the tank wall is reduced as compared with the case where no cells are present. The tank is useful in the context of road tankers, for example, and can lessen the chance or completely prevent the vehicle from overturning on a corner due to shifting of the liquid load carried.

There is provided a fuel tank including: a fuel tank main body enclosed by a floor wall, side walls and an upper wall; and a separator including a strut, a first plate portion in which a first penetrating hole that penetrates in a plate thickness direction is formed, and a second plate portion in which a second penetrating hole that penetrates in a plate thickness direction is formed, the second plate portion sandwiching the strut with the first plate portion and extending in a diametric direction at an opposite side of the strut from a side thereof at which the first plate portion is disposed, wherein at least one of shapes, sizes or numbers of the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating hole is set to be different such that fluid resistances at the first plate portion and the second plate portion are different.

A tank mounted on a working vehicle is provided with an exterior member including a first plate unit, a second plate unit, a third plate unit, a fourth plate unit, a fifth plate unit, and a sixth plate unit, a first baffle plate joined to a first inner surface of the first plate unit, a second inner surface of the second plate unit, and a third inner surface of the third plate unit, and a second baffle plate joined to a fourth inner surface of the fourth plate unit, a fifth inner surface of the fifth plate unit, and a sixth inner surface of the sixth plate unit.

The reservoir tank includes a reservoir body which reserves a fluid in an inner portion thereof formed to be in a hollow box shape. The reservoir body includes a port extending outward, a reservoir chamber which reserves the fluid and a port chamber which volume is smaller than that of the reservoir chamber and is in fluid communication with the port and a first communication passage positioned at a portion lower than a changeable liquid surface of the fluid reserved in the reservoir chamber in a vertical direction and provided at the first partition portion to allow the fluid communication between the reservoir chamber and the port chamber and wherein the port chamber and the port are kept being a state in which they are filled with the fluid supplied from the reservoir chamber via the first communication passage.

A motor vehicle storage tank includes a tank wall having an inner tank wall and an outer tank wall which collectively define a closed interior space to receive a liquid, at least one baffle arranged in the closed interior space, and a heating element integrated in the baffle to heat the liquid received in the closed interior space.

Various techniques are provided for an energy absorbing fluid bladder. In one example, the fluid bladder includes a bladder body and a perforated baffle structure. The perforated baffle structure can be disposed within the bladder body and configured to mitigate a pulse of fluid (e.g., fuel) moving within the bladder body before the pulse reaches the bladder body. Related methods are also disclosed.
