A motorized vehicle tank, having a first tank shell and a second tank shell, where the first tank shell and the second tank shell between them define at least one section of a tank volume of the motorized vehicle tank, where the first tank shell and the second tank shell are connected with each other, where at least one tank shell out of the first and the second tank shell is a multicomponent tank shell which exhibits a barrier foil and at least area-wise an inner wall section injected by injection-molding onto the internal side of the barrier foil facing towards the tank volume and/or an outer wall section injected by injection-molding onto the external side of the barrier foil facing away from the tank volume; the motorized vehicle tank exhibits in at least one tank wall section formed from the multicomponent tank shell an eversion formed integrally at the barrier foil, which projects relative to the tank wall region surrounding it.
Fuel Suction Inlet Member
A sender gauge adaptor includes an adaptor body pressed against a bottom wall of a fuel tank by a spring. The adaptor body includes a suction inlet part having a hollow cylindrical shape that opens downward. Recesses allowing fluid communication between the interior and the exterior of the suction inlet part and projection parts having a polygonal-shaped lower surfaces are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction along a lower end of the suction opening. The adaptor body includes a seat part in surface contact with the bottom wall of the fuel tank at a position below the lower surfaces of the projection parts.
FUEL TANK WITH STIFFENING DEVICE
The disclosure relates to a fuel tank including a tank wall which has at least two wall sections opposite one another and a stiffening device situated between the two opposite wall sections. The disclosure further relates to a method for manufacturing such a fuel tank. According to the invention, it is provided that the stiffening device includes at least one connecting strut, each end of which has a profile section, which engages with one complementary profile section each on the two opposite wall sections of the container wall in a tension-resistant manner in such a way that the connecting strut absorbs compressive forces acting on the container wall. The method according to the disclosure for manufacturing a fuel tank including a stiffening device of the aforementioned type is characterized by the following steps: shaping the tank from a thermoplastic material in a blow mold, at least two coupling sections being created on opposite wall sections and an opening being created in one of the wall sections; removing the container from the blow mold; manual or mechanical insertion of at least one connecting strut via the opening into an interior of the container, the ends of at least one connecting strut each including a profile section, which may be coupled to one of the coupling sections of the wall sections in a tension-resistant manner; and manual or mechanical coupling of the profile sections of the connecting strut to the coupling sections of the wall sections.
Holder for a pressure sensor
A pressure sensor receptacle for the fastening of a pressure sensor to a motor vehicle tank, and a tank device that includes a pressure sensor receptacle. The pressure sensor receptacle includes a receptacle body having a substantially cylindrical shape with a first axial end forming a fastening portion of the receptacle body, the fastening portion configured for being plugged through an opening of the motor vehicle tank until a first bearing surface of the receptacle body bears against an edge of the opening, wherein the first bearing surface is configured to bound the fastening portion; and a locking body having a second bearing surface, the locking body configured for mounting and locking onto the fastening portion such that the second bearing surface bears against an opposite side of the edge of the opening to thereby clamp the pressure sensor receptacle to the edge of the opening by the receptacle body at one side and by the locking body at another side.
Fuel tank with stiffening device
The present disclosure relates to a fuel tank including a tank wall which has at least two wall sections opposite one another and a stiffening device situated between the two opposite wall sections, and a method for manufacturing such a fuel tank. According to the present disclosure, it is provided that the stiffening device includes at least one connecting strut, each end of which has a profile section, which engages with one complementary profile section each on the two opposite wall sections of the container wall in a tension-resistant manner in such a way that the connecting strut absorbs compressive forces acting on the container wall.
Vehicle tank
A motor vehicle tank that includes a tank container formed by a tank wall, and a holding element to fasten a component to the tank wall at an interior of the tank container. The holding element has at least one attachment point for fastening the holding element to the tank wall, at least one fastening element for fastening the component to the holding element, and a plurality of spring elements arranged between the at least one attachment point and the fastening element to facilitate fastening of the component to the tank wall in a spring-elastically decoupled manner.
DEVICE FOR FASTENING A COMPONENT TO A FUEL TANK
The invention relates to a device (10) for fastening a component (1) to a wall (101) of a fuel tank (100). According to the invention, such a device (10) for fastening a component (1) to a wall (101) of a fuel tank (100) comprises an anchoring element (3) that is able to be secured to said wall (101) of the fuel tank (100); a connecting element (2) comprising a first end (20) and a second end (21); a first means (4) for connecting said first end (20) to said anchoring element (3) and a second means (5) for connecting said second end (21) to said component (1).
Base for an accessory and tank accessory, method for producing a tank
A base made from plastic material for a motor vehicle tank accessory, including protrusions to be welded to a preform during production of the tank by blowing the preform, wherein: the base includes a solid surface recessed from the protrusions, the solid surface including a part without protrusions and a part taken up by the protrusions, the area of the part of the solid surface without protrusions is at least equal to one times the area of the solid surface taken up by the protrusions, the height of the protrusions relative to the solid surface is between 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm.
PUMP COVER ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
A vehicle fuel pump assembly includes a fuel pump received in a tank opening, an annular pump mounting ring securing the pump to the tank at the opening, and a cover assembly including an annular cover ring and a cover. The cover ring is removably attached onto the underlying pump mounting ring and the cover is removably attached onto the cover ring to overly at least part of the fuel pump. The cover system can include a flexible attachment element on the cover ring engaging a peripheral notch in the pump mounting ring and clip elements securing the cover to the cover ring. The cover can include a hinge to provide pivoting of the cover or a portion of the cover with respect to the cover ring.
BARRIER FILM-CONTAINING TANK SHELL WITH PERMEATION-SECURE CONNECTOR FORMATION FOR CONNECTING A SEPARATE CONDUIT COMPONENT
