Abstract
A fuel tank made of a plastic material and fitted with at least one fuel accessory attached to an inside surface of a wall thereof, wherein the fuel accessory is attached to a predetermined site at the inside surface by fusion welding. Further there is disclosed a fuel accessory for attaching to a site at an inside wall portion of a plastic material fuel tank, comprising a housing formed with an engaging surface attachable to the site. The engaging surface is fitted with a fusion melting element for fusion welding the fuel accessory to the fuel tank.
Claims38
A fuel system component for attaching to a site at an inside wall portion of a plastic material fuel tank, the fuel system component comprising a housing having a top surface configured to be pre-fitted with a fusion melting element;
- wherein
- the fusion melting element is in the form of a sheet of material and comprises first and second conductive ends configured to be detached from the fusion melting element when a pulling force is applied thereto.
A planar weldable carrying member comprising an upper surface, an opposing lower surface, and a fusion melting element attached thereto;
- wherein
- the fusion melting element is in the form of a sheet of material and comprises first and second conductive ends configured to be detached from the fusion melting element when a pulling force is applied thereto.
A fuel tank made of a plastic material and fitted with at least one fuel system component attached to an inside surface of a wall thereof, wherein said fuel system component comprises a housing having a top surface configured to be pre-fitted with a fusion melting element and the fuel system component is attached to a predetermined site at said inside surface by fusion welding;
- wherein
- the fusion melting element is in the form of a sheet of material and comprises first and second conductive ends configured to be detached from the fusion melting element when a pulling force is applied thereto.
An attachable planar weldable carrying member comprising an upper surface, an opposing lower surface, and a fusion melting element attached to the upper surface, the planar weldable carrying member configured for attachment to a fuel system component by the lower surface of the planar weldable carrying member being formed with a mechanical joining mechanism extending in a direction away from the upper surface;
- the planar weldable carrying member being formed with a central circular aperture.
