In fact, compared to the volume parameter, the material of the fuel tank is more important.
Someone might say that the fuel tank is just a container, as long as it doesn't leak, the material isn't very important, which isn't true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iron reservoir<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iron tanks have been used on trucks for a very long time, ever since trucks were invented. Their biggest advantage is that they are cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the resistance of the iron tank is high enough to withstand very strong impacts and does not break easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very important for trucks that have been driving on the road for a long time and are constantly facing the threat of accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inside of the fuel tank was rusty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their high quality and low price, iron fuel tanks have been widely used in various trucks for decades, even centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day, many trucks continue to use iron tanks. But in addition to the advantages mentioned above, iron fuel tanks have a more serious drawback: their corrosion resistance is very poor, making them prone to rust and fuel contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic fuel tank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The plastic fuel tank, also called a composite fuel tank, has the advantage of being clean and will never contaminate the fuel, so it is perfectly suited for vehicles equipped with electronically controlled engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Faw trucks installed plastic fuel tanks on a large scale, but after a brief period of popularity, it was virtually abandoned, and now only a portion of light trucks continue to use plastic fuel tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plastic fuel tank cannot be set on fire<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the driving environment has a varied geographical climate, hot in summer and cold in winter. The plastic fuel tank is not well suited to the diversity of this environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in extremely cold temperatures, a plastic fuel tank will become brittle to some extent, and is prone to rupture and leaks. Furthermore, a plastic fuel tank cannot be set on fire to thaw the fuel in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aluminum alloy fuel tank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of aluminum alloy fuel tanks, I think many people have heard the salesperson present this when they are buying a vehicle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab"Our truck is lightweight and equipped with a fuel tank made of aluminum alloy with a certain capacity." As a sales pitch, is the fuel tank made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight? Actually, that's not all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest advantage of the aluminum fuel tank over the iron fuel tank is its good corrosion resistance, which is ideal for high-pressure common rail engines with high fuel cleanliness requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the manufacturing process of the aluminum alloy fuel tank is relatively simple, and it can be welded after being pressed with an aluminum plate, which is much simpler than manufacturing a plastic fuel tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the aluminum alloy itself exhibits excellent ductility. When subjected to external impact, the aluminum alloy fuel tank does not easily break or leak, even if severely deformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these advantages, the aluminum alloy fuel tank has essentially replaced the iron fuel tank and the plastic fuel tank as the most ideal fuel storage device.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
