Fuel Tank Optimization Guide
Strategies for improving fuel transfer efficiency and ensuring safe operation
Flow Path Optimization
- Polish internal surfaces or use low-friction materials
- Eliminate unnecessary protrusions and uneven welds
- Design tank bottom with gentle, consistent slope toward outlet
- Leverage gravity to guide fuel toward discharge point
- Reduce residual fuel and shorten transfer time
Structural Stability Enhancement
- Use perforated or partial-height baffles instead of solid ones
- Position baffles evenly to distribute fuel movement impact
- Ensure smooth baffle edges to prevent inner surface damage
- Prevent fuel sloshing during transportation
- Avoid concentrated stress on specific areas
Functional Adaptation
- Integrate filtration components without blocking main flow
- Place filters near outlet for cleaning just before discharge
- Add sloped sump at lowest point for moisture collection
- Enable easy drainage without disturbing main fuel supply
- Reduce clogging risk and maintain transfer efficiency
Outlet & Valve Optimization
- Position outlet at lowest point of sloped bottom
- Use smooth, wide-diameter internal pipes
- Avoid narrow or sharply bent pipes that restrict flow
- Install valves in accessible positions
- Design components to avoid protruding into flow path
