Embodiment Construction

[0057] In the different figures, identical parts are always given the same reference numerals, so they are usually also described only once.

[0058] figure 1 is a side view of a possible embodiment of a fuel tank arrangement 10 for a motor vehicle according to the invention. The fuel tank arrangement 10 is shown in a state in which the fuel tank arrangement 10 is mounted on a chassis 42 of a motor vehicle, which is constructed as a passenger car.

[0059] The fuel tank arrangement 10 has a fuel tank 12 for containing fuel and a fixing device 14 for fixing the fuel tank 12 to a motor vehicle.

[0060] Fuel tank 12 comprises a first thermoplastic material, which in this particular embodiment is formed from high density polyethylene (PE-HD). In other embodiments, the first thermoplastic material may be made of medium density polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), foamed forms of the mentioned materials or at least A combination of...

Abstract

The invention relates to a fuel tank arrangement (10; 32; 38) of a motor vehicle, having a fuel tank (12) which contains a first thermoplastic material and having a fastening device (14) for fasteningthe fuel tank (12) to a plurality of fastening elements (26) of the motor vehicle. The fuel tank (12) according to the invention comprises a plurality of integrated fastening regions (16, 18, 20) andeach fastening element (26) is arranged in one integrated fastening region (16, 18, 20) so as to be enclosed and provided to form a directly releasable firm connection to a corresponding fastening element (28) of the motor vehicle. In this case, the majority of the integrated fixing regions (16, 18, 20) are equipped with at least one fibrous reinforcing strip (24; 34; 36), which fibrous reinforcing strip (24; 34; 36) is positively connected to the fastening element (26) of the respective integrated fastening regions (16, 18, 20) and comprises a second thermoplastic material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel tank arrangement for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 , having a fuel tank and a fastening device. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a fuel tank arrangement according to the preamble of claim 10 . Background technique [0002] In the field of automotive technology it is known to use fuel tanks of light plastic material in motor vehicles to save weight. Such fuel tanks, manufactured for example by blow molding thermoplastic materials, can have excellent performance in the event of a crash ("crash performance") and an excellent degree of design freedom, which is comparable to that of metal fuel tanks. superior in comparison. [0003] In order to increase the mechanical strength of such fuel tanks, different solutions are known from the prior art. [0004] For example, the website https: / / www.dsm.com / corporate / media / informationcenter-news / 2017 / 09 / 2017-09-04-dsm-developing-no...
