A tank unit (sheet metal / aluminum die
cast type) is a instrument to indicate level of Fuel in tank . It is
used in all kind of vehicles / stationary engines which have tank of
any kind.
It normally consists of:
a) Float (NBR type/PU
type) with level arm
b) Potentiometer
|
|
Working
principle |
|
As the fuel is
consumed or emptied in tank the float moves up/down and it increases
or decreases the resistance of potentiometer which includes TFR type
to indicate the fuel level on the Fuel gauge / Dashboard cluster
It can also be of capacitive type and with integrated suction and
return tubes
Among the various options / types, adjustable / universal type tank
unit can also be provided for fitment in different fuel tanks,
shapes and sizes. |
