CUSTOM MADE FUEL TANK
In the application of fuel storage solutions, custom made fuel tank has become indispensable choice in various industries. Traditional rigid tanks, sometims, can’t meet specific requirements, so they are giving way to more flexible and customizable choice, like flexible fuel bladders. The innovative storage solution has numberous advantages, making it an attractive option to users for fuel management.
Flexible fuel bladders offer several key advantages over traditional rigid tanks.
Flexibility:
Flexible fuel tanks use flexible TPU/PVC mateiral which provide durable and collapsible features to them. This feature makes them can be used in limited place, when liquid filled into the bladder, the flow and limited space can effect the shape of the tank.
Lightweight:
Compare with the steel tanks or PE tanks, the flexible tank with less weight. For example, the 1000L tank, the G.W.: 10kgs, making the bladder tank can easily transport and deploy in what needed. And the lightweight means shipping same capacity liquid container with less shipping cost.
Besides saving shipment, the flexible fuel tanks can easy to install. Because the weight is light, making the tank can be setup by 1/few people within mins.
More Applications:
Fuel bladders use durable and innovative materials which give tanks anti-bacterial, UV-resistance, anti-corrosion, anti-degration features. So fuel bags can apply in various industries.
Cost Effective:
Comparing with traditional tank, the flexible bladders can save money from 3 aspects:
- Cost of the tank, compare with the steel tank, the flexible tank is half to it.
- The installation cost, flexible tank can setup easily: unfold, fill, done. Almost no charges on the installation.
- The shipment, the 1000L PE tank, 20GP contain can load 20 unit, but the flexible bladder can load 300units. So with same shipment, the each bladders need less shipping cost.
One of the most significant benefits of custom made fuel tank is the ability to tailor them to specific requirements.
Capacity:
Cusom made fuel tanks ranges from 5L to 1,000,000L, no matter for motorcycle auxiliary fuel tank(5L) or for industrial fuel storage tanks, the fuel tank capactiry meets the requirement.
Custom Shape:
The most popular shape of the fuel bladders in the market is pillow shape and rectangular shape, but others also can customize according to the drawings. Mostly the bladders used on the boat, airplane, and other limited places, the shape is different to regular shape, the custom made tank can do it.
Custom Size:
Do the customize size, based on the shape you need is workable. For custom made tank, discuss with supplier in advance is mandary. Providing the requested size to supplier can help them quickily understand the custom purpose.
Fitting:
Bladder tanks can use for multi-purpose liquid storage and transportation, considering the working time, can classify the tanks to temporary bladder tanks and long-term liquid tanks. In different situation, the fittings may be different. So custom made is a good choice.
The fittings can customize in
Fitting types: Flange, Valve, Nipples, Quick Fittings, Breather, Caps, etc.
Fitting materials: UPVC, Stainless Steel(304/316), Aluminium, Brass, etc.
Position: inside bladders sometimes need fixed the position of the fittings.
Materials:
The materials for fuel bladders use TPU sheet, but for different application, we can consider the different thickness of TPU.
Whether it’s for temporary storage during remote operations or long-term fuel reserves at a fixed location, custom-made fuel tanks offer unparalleled flexibility and versatility.
Custom-made fuel tanks find applications across diverse industries, including military, aviation, marine, agriculture, and emergency response.
In military operations:
Flexible fuel bladders provide auxiliary or secondary fuel storage solutions for deployed units, supporting extended missions and remote deployments.
In the aviation industry:
They work as auxiliary fuel tanks for long-range flights, enhancing aircraft range and operational flexibility. And also use as main fuel tanks’ inside bladders. As inside tank, they all need customized services.
In marine usage:
Those tanks for marine usage, works as secondary tank or subsea tank.
Agricultural & other settings:
Farms also need fuel storage for energy supply.
Custom-made fuel tanks represent a significant advancement in fuel storage technology, offering unparalleled flexibility, efficiency, and customization options.
