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.

The invention relates to a method for producing a liquid container (28) for a motor vehicle, having the method steps: providing a wall (14), which is provided in order to delimit an interior chamber (26) of the liquid container (28) for receiving a liquid (34); providing a structure (2), which is provided in order to be arranged in order to reduce sloshing noises in the interior chamber (26) of the liquid container (28), wherein the structure (2) comprises a random arrangement of threads (4) cross-linked with each other and wherein a plurality of the threads (4) of the structure (2) are integrally joined, at least in sections, to at least one or more additional threads (4) of the structure (2), such that a substantially monolithic structure (2) is formed; connecting the structure (2) to the wall (14).

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.

The invention relates to a method for producing a liquid container for a motor vehicle, having the method steps: providing a wall, which is provided in order to delimit an interior chamber of the liquid container for receiving a liquid; providing a structure, which is provided in order to be arranged in order to reduce sloshing noises in the interior chamber of the liquid container, wherein the structure comprises a random arrangement of threads cross-linked with each other and wherein a plurality of the threads of the structure are integrally joined, at least in sections, to at least one or more additional threads of the structure, such that a substantially monolithic structure is formed; connecting the structure to the wall.

A process is disclosed for manufacturing at least one wall of a tank and comprises at least a first layer of thermoplastic and a second foam-based layer. The second foam-based layer forms at least part of an anti-slosh device, and the process is characterized in that the first layer and the second layer are molded in the same mold.

A fuel tank cover (150) is provided with a flange unit (22) closing an opening of a fuel tank, and a joint member (24) configured to be connected to the flange unit (22) movably in the upward/downward direction. The flange unit (22) includes a side tubular portion (43) extending in the upward/downward direction. The joint member (24) includes a columnar portion (160) extending in the upward/downward direction. The columnar portion (160) is inserted into the side tubular portion (43) movably in the upward/downward direction. A metal retainer (162) is provided to cover an outer circumferential surface of the columnar portion (160).

Fuel tank made of thermoplastic material comprising baffle components provided therein in the form of at least one baffle element (2) comprising at least one wall portion (4) which is clamped approximately centrally and/or at the end, so that said wall portion may perform relative movements in relation to the tank, caused by splashing movements of the fuel, at least one fastening foot being provided for the clamping, the base thereof being provided with at least one through-hole, through which the fastening foot is riveted and/or welded to the tank wall (2).

An assembly for a fluid tank includes a baffle and a fluid transfer line. The baffle includes a first deflecting surface defining a first part of the tank and a second deflecting surface defining a second part of the tank. The fluid transfer line extends from the first part to the second part and is linked to the baffle by a linkage supported by the assembly. The extension of the fluid transfer line in the first part defines a first portion of the fluid transfer line, and the extension of the fluid transfer line in the second part defines a second portion of the fluid transfer line. The linkage allows for simultaneous rotation of the first portion and the second portion of the fluid transfer line towards a surface including one of the deflecting surfaces.

Embodiments relate to fluid baffles and parts and kits for making such baffles. For example, some embodiments relate to a fluid baffle for use in a tank, where the baffle comprises: a body defining an interior volume and defining a plurality of fluid passage apertures at spaced positions around the body to allow fluid to easily pass into and out of the interior volume; wherein the body comprises a continuous wall that defines a plurality of convex regions spaced from each other around the body and defines concave regions between the convex regions.

A cover for a fuel tank includes a flange unit configured to close an opening of the fuel tank and a joint member connected to the flange unit. The joint member is movable in an upward/downward direction. The flange unit includes a side tubular portion extending in the upward/downward direction. The joint member includes a support column portion extending in the upward/downward direction. The support column portion is movably disposed in the side tubular portion so as to be movable in the upward/downward direction. The support column portion is connected to the side tubular portion by a snap-fit so as to be movable and suspendable in the upward/downward direction.
