Title:
IN-TANK TUBE FOR AUTOMOBILE FUEL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/104927
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a single-layer in-tank tube (1) for automobile fuel which is installed inside a fuel tank (2) and is constructed so as to absorb displacement of the fuel tank (2) and vibration of a fuel pump (5). The in-tank tube (1) for automobile fuel is formed from a resin material, the primary component of which is high-density polyethylene (HDPE) having a specific gravity of 0.950 or higher, and the in-tank tube (1) has the below pressure resistance characteristic (X). Silicone oil as the pressurization medium is filled inside the in-tank tube which has been immersed for 168 hours at 80ºC in a test fluid (fuel (C):methanol = 85:15 (by volume)), both ends of the in-tank tube are blocked by a test pipe, and a pressure resistance test is performed at room temperature under a pressure elevation rate of 1.0 MPa/min. Pressure when the in-tank tube ruptures or the test pipe comes loose (bursting pressure) = 2.5 MPa or greater (X).
