Ultra-Low Emission Fuel Tank System

TI Group Automotive Systemsl tank system has been developed that encloses fuel pumps, level sensors and other components in plastic, blow molded fuel tanks to limit emissions. The new technology, referred to as the "ship-in-a-bottle"(SIB) fuel tank system, is designed to help automakers meet emissions legislation around the world, including LEVII and ZEV legislation in California.

The SIB system requires only one or two openings in a fuel tank shell, whereas past tanks often had up to six or seven.

The blow molding technique and innovative fuel systems architecture enable vehicle manufacturers to take advantage of the benefits of plastic fuel tanks, including weight savings, cost savings and design flexibility, while reducing evaporative emissions from the system.

An added advantage of the system is its ability to increase the volume of fuel stored in a vehicle. By putting components inside, the tank can be enlarged to use space previously needed for external components and the tank shell.
