A voltage-stabilizing tube connects the two ends of the tank body. The use of PE-X material reduces product weight while maintaining performance. Space for the battery compartment is reserved throughout the tank body, allowing for a compact design.

[0005] Preferably, a sensor mounting port is formed next to the filling port on the top of the fuel tank body, a drain port is formed on the bottom of the fuel tank body opposite the sensor mounting port, and sensor limiting grooves are formed on both sides of the drain port, which are concave from bottom to top, so as to effectively install and fix the sensor.

[0006] Preferably, a fender groove is formed at the other end of the fuel tank body, and a fender fixing buckle is formed on the top of the fuel tank body at the top of the fender groove. The original injection-molded fender and bracket installation are omitted, which can reduce weight and cost.

[0007] Preferably, a first wave-breaking groove is evenly formed on the battery box installation groove, and a second wave-breaking groove is formed in the middle of the bottom of the fuel tank body.

[0008] Preferably, the fuel tank body is formed with a plurality of bracket and strap mounting grooves evenly spaced along the length direction, so that the fuel tank can be conveniently mounted and fixed to the vehicle frame through the straps and the brackets.

[0009] Preferably, a width indicator light mounting groove is formed on the top of the front side of one end of the fuel tank body.

[0010] Preferably, a concave step ladder is formed on the front of the fuel tank body near the battery box mounting groove, and a working platform plate mounting hole is formed on the top surface of the fuel tank body corresponding to the step ladder.

[0011] Advantages of this utility model: A rational structural design, constructed entirely of PE-X material, reduces weight while maintaining performance. An integrated fender design reduces weight and costs. An integrated step structure maintains functionality. Space is reserved for the battery compartment, allowing for a compact design. Compared to the single-styling limitations of conventional metal fuel tanks, this new model offers a variety of design options. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
