Embodiment Construction

[0030] The invention generally relates to a fuel tank 1 for a motor vehicle (not shown for clarity). figure 1 A section of the fuel tank 1 according to the embodiment is shown in .

[0031] A single-compartment saddle-type fuel tank 1 is shown, however, the embodiments of the invention described herein may be applied in other types of fuel tanks, such as tanks having internal bulkheads. In addition, the fuel tank 1 shown can contain petrol (gasoline), diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, and liquids other than liquids intended as fuel, such as fuel additives such as urea-based solutions . For the sake of clarity, in a first example, the invention will be described with reference to gasoline.

[0032] The fuel tank 1 comprises a one-piece shell 3 formed by extrusion blow molding using conventional processes. The fuel tank 1 comprises a first (active) chamber 5 and a second (passive) chamber 7 . A saddle 9 is formed between the first chamber 5 and the second chamber 7, but they remai...

Abstract

The present application relates to a support arm assembly (39) for mounting in a fuel tank (1). A support arm (43) is provided to support a fuel transfer tube (17) for transferring fuel to a fuel pump (11). A support foot (49) is provided to support the support arm (43) at a predetermined position within the fuel tank (1). The support foot (49) biases the support arm assembly (39) against a roof of the fuel tank (1). The present application also relates a support foot (49) for mounting in a support arm assembly (39). The combination of a fuel tank (1) and the support arm assembly (39) is also envisaged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a fuel tank assembly, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a support arm assembly for mounting in a fuel tank. Fuel tanks are commonly used in motor vehicles. Aspects of the invention relate to support arm assemblies, support feet, fuel tanks, kits, and vehicles. Background technique [0002] It is known in US2008 / 0149199 to provide a hinged rod for positioning a fuel line in a saddle tank. The lever has a spring loaded mechanism that pivots the lever from a first pressure loaded position to a second pressure loaded position. The support member expands under the action of a spring loaded mechanism to engage the top of the fuel tank. The mechanism also presses the distal end of the rod against the floor of the fuel tank to secure the rod in place. [0003] A spring loaded mechanism positions the distal end of the hinged rod against the floor of the fuel tank. However, this deforms the end of the rod thro...
