[0002] At present, ships usually use fuel oil as fuel. Ships are equipped with fuel tanks. Fuel oil can be stored in the fuel tanks for use by ships. Fuel tanks are containers for storing oil in fuel equipment. Fuel tanks can be divided into open fuel tanks and closed fuel tanks. The fuel inside the fuel tank is a flammable and explosive product, so many equipment now use explosion-proof fuel tanks.

[0003] The prior art proposes, for example, Chinese patent [application number CN202120451800.0] which discloses a highly firm marine explosion-proof oil tank, comprising a fixed base, an explosion-proof outer box, a fireproof outer box and an inner box, wherein two fixed plates are provided at the top of the fixed base, a rubber pad is fixedly provided on the inner side of the fixed plate, two anti-collision plates are provided at the top of the fixed base, a plurality of movable frames are fixedly provided on the inner side of the anti-collision plates, and a buffer spring is provided inside the movable frame; although the patent can fix the explosion-proof outer box on all sides by setting a fixed plate, a threaded rod and a threaded sleeve, so that the explosion-proof oil tank is fixed more firmly, and the shaking of the ship makes the oil tank unstable and creates a dangerous situation; however, the above patent has certain defects during use, for example, the internal pressure and temperature of the oil tank will increase due to temperature and shaking, which may cause fire or even explosion, and the above patent does not have a structure to deal with this situation.
