Fuel Tanks for Forklift

When constructing fuel tanks, there are a series of requirements which must be followed. First, the tanks craftsman will create a mockup in order to determine the measurements of the tank. This is usually performed using foam board. After that, design problems are addressed, including where the outlets, seams, drain, baffles and fluid level indicator will go. The craftsman needs to know the alloy, thickness and temper of the metal sheet he will use so as to construct the tank. Once the metal sheet is cut into the shapes needed, lots of parts are bent in order to create the basic shell and or the baffles and ends for the fuel tank.

A lot of baffles in racecars and aircraft have "lightening" holes. These flanged holes have two purposes. They add strength to the baffles while reducing the weight of the tank. Openings are added toward the ends of construction for the fuel pickup, the filler neck, the fluid-level sending unit and the drain. Occasionally these holes are added as soon as the fabrication method is finish, other times they are created on the flat shell.

The baffle and the ends are afterward riveted in place. Often, the rivet heads are brazed or soldered so as to avoid tank leakage. Ends could afterward be hemmed in and flanged and soldered, or sealed, or brazed using an epoxy kind of sealant, or the ends can also be flanged and afterward welded. After the soldering, brazing and welding has been done, the fuel tank is checked for leaks.
