How big is a 500-liter fuel tank?
1 Answers
A 500-liter fuel tank has dimensions of 10m in length, 10m in width, and 5m in height. Purpose of the fuel tank: In a hydraulic system, the fuel tank not only stores oil but also serves functions such as heat dissipation, separating air bubbles from the oil, and settling impurities. The tank is equipped with various auxiliary components, including coolers, heaters, air filters, and liquid level gauges. Introduction to fuel tanks: A fuel tank is a container for storing fuel in aircraft or automobiles and is a specialized vessel for holding hydraulic oil or fluid in hydraulic systems. Fuel tanks can be categorized into open-type and closed-type. The tank must have sufficient volume; the suction and return pipes should extend below the minimum liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing that may create bubbles. The distance between the suction and return pipes should be as far apart as possible, with a partition installed between them. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover with an air filter. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground. Adequate attention must be given to the anti-corrosion treatment of the tank's inner surface.
