1. Overview
Definition and Use
A portable
Gasoline Fuel Tank is a container used to store gasoline and is convenient for mobile use. This
Fuel Tank equipped with a pump can easily extract gasoline into the required equipment, such as a small gasoline engine (such as a lawn mower, a small generator, etc.).
Safety Importance
Since gasoline is a flammable and explosive hazardous chemical, portable gasoline fuel tanks must strictly comply with safety regulations during design, manufacturing and use.
2. Structure and Components
Tank
Material: Usually made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal (such as steel or aluminum alloy) or special oil-resistant plastic. Metal tanks are relatively strong and can withstand certain external impacts, but may be heavier; plastic tanks are relatively light, but need to have sufficient strength and gasoline corrosion resistance.
Capacity: Common capacities include 5 gallons, 10 gallons and other specifications to meet the needs of different users.
Seal: The tank must have good sealing performance to prevent gasoline leakage. Generally achieved through high-quality sealing gaskets and tight tank cover design.
Pump
Type:
Manual pump: simple structure, gasoline is extracted by manual operation (such as pressing or pulling the operating lever). This pump does not require external power supply and is suitable for use in remote areas without power supply, but the operation is relatively laborious.
Electric pump: powered by batteries or external power supply, it can extract gasoline quickly and efficiently. Electric pumps are usually equipped with flow regulating devices, which can adjust the gasoline extraction speed as needed.
Installation: The pump is usually installed on the top or side of the tank, connected to the inside of the tank through a pipe, and there are also sealing measures at the connection to prevent gasoline leakage.
III. Precautions for use
Safe operation
Keep away from fire sources: When using portable gasoline fuel tanks, make sure there are no open flames, sparks or other heat sources around that may cause fire or explosion.
Static electricity prevention: During the process of pouring oil or extracting gasoline, since the flow of gasoline is prone to static electricity, the tank and related equipment should be well grounded, and users should avoid wearing clothes that are prone to static electricity (such as chemical fiber clothes).
Good ventilation: In the area where gasoline fuel tanks are stored and used, there should be good ventilation conditions to avoid the accumulation of gasoline vapor and cause danger.
Maintenance
Regular inspection: Check the tank regularly for corrosion, deformation or leakage, and check whether the pump is working properly, such as whether the seal is aging, whether the motor is running normally (for electric pumps), etc.
Cleaning: Keep the outside of the tank clean to avoid potential safety hazards caused by oil accumulation. If the inside needs to be cleaned, strictly follow the safety regulations, use appropriate cleaning agents, and store gasoline after cleaning and drying thoroughly.
